Log snippet from attempt to create new virtual machine via local media.
What host OS are you using ? And what version of 'python-virtinst' RPM is it ? Actually ignore my last request - it is irrelevant. The version of python-virtinst does not support installing off media which is mounted locally in the host. The install media needs to be accessible to both the host and guest, which means it has to be either: - A http://, ftp://, nfs:// URL for paravirt - A path to a ISO image, or a path to a physical CDROM device in /dev Host OS is RHEL5. Have attempted with an http path and ftp path and does not work either. Attempted with /dev/dvd and appears to work. It would be most helpful if the documentation (in virt-manager and on RH's site (section 18) indicated more clear examples of possibilities for the install media field (including examples of using username/password in http or ftp URLs). Standard http://username:password@hostname/url didn't work. Hi Jim, are you still seeing this issue? What version of python-virtinst are you using? Looking at the log file I'm pretty sure that mounting the media failed for whatever reason, and the error was not raised correctly. Please grab the 5.2 beta packages and try http installs, and if you are still having a problem report it here. Since this has been in NEEDINFO for quite a while and I haven't hit a similar error, I'm closing this as WORKSFORME. If you can reproduce this on 5.2, please reopen. |
