ovmapi_4004e server failed error while creating a PVM from FTP network path

Hi,

I'm trying to create a PVM on OVM 3.0.3  using an ftp server to use an ISO for a Linux 5 installation.

In the create virtual machine wizard for the network path (in boot options) I am specifying:

ftp://oracle:pwd@hostname.net/home/oracle/iso/OEL56/


The above link opens up in a browser and I can see the mounted iso.


I mounted the iso as:

cd /home/oracle
mkdir /iso/OEL56/

mount -o ro,loop /ovm_iso/linux/Enterprise-R5-U6-Server-x86_64-dvd.iso /home/oracle/iso/OEL56/

But Starting the VM fails with  "ovmapi_4004e server failed" and "Boot loader didn't return any data". I'm assuming it can't read from the iso during boot.

Howdy, Stranger!
