This is quite a convoluted method for installing Debian.

I would usually do something like this (as root):

wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.2/i386/iso-cd/debian-502-i386-netinst.iso
lvcreate -n Debian -L 10G VolGroup00
virt-install -v -n Debian --accelerate -r 512 -f /dev/VolGroup00/Debian -c debian-502-i386-netinst.iso
