virt-manager backtraces
I am seeing the same problem on a Dell M1710, I can load .iso file installs fine but trying to install from the CD produces the above error(s). I am encounter this same error on T60 when creating a QEMU VM for XP error reported: Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> virDomainCreateLinux() failed Timed out while reading monitor startup output Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 616, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 724, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 741, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 573, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed Timed out while reading monitor startup output ' Did some more testing and found that a work around for this is to insert the install media first before starting virt-manager, then the VM is created. hum... the work around seem to be only work sometimes..... I retry the same procedure and failed to create the VM. back to square 1 From comment #1: The error message "The CDROM device hdc is already used" was from a bug where we would attempt to re-add the cdrom device if a guest install failed. This should be fixed with the latest packages in F8. The "timed out" issue I'm not sure about. Can anyone verify this is still an issue with the latest F8 packages? If so, please post ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log here after the error. |
