Description Jens Petersen 2007-04-27 00:59:13 UTC
Description of problem:
When I try to install RHEL5 Client (x86_64) as a guest on rawhide
I get an error dialog saying:

"Unable to complete install: 'Could not find an installable distribution the
install location'".

(BTW the message 'Could not find an installable distribution the install
location' should be fixed also.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.4.0-1.fc7.

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try install RHEL5 as a guest domain
  
Actual results:
Dialog appears with above message and Details:

Unable to complete install '<type 'exceptions.RuntimeError'> Could not find an
installable distribution the install location
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 677, in do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)

    tmpfiles = self._prepare_install_location(meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/ParaVirtGuest.py", line 65, in
_prepare_install_location
    (kernelfn,initrdfn,args) = DistroManager.acquireKernel(self.location, meter,

in _storeForDistro
    raise RuntimeError, "Could not find an installable distribution the install
location"
RuntimeError: Could not find an installable distribution the install location

Expected results:
no error

Need to know what install parameters you provided - please grab
/root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log from immediately after a failed install &
attach to this ticket. Also what python-virtinst version ?
