I've installed cloudmin on a ubuntu11.10 server (AMD64) with Xen; the physical OS installed on the machine is the cloudmin master; I downloaded the image of an ubuntu 12.04 Xen instance and installed it as a new Xen Instance, but during the creation I've the following message (see lines 52-53) and the system status is Down. Any idea? Thx everybody
