Can you list what versions of virt-manager and python-virtinst you are using? I'm pretty sure this should be fixed in the latest python-virtinst (0.300.2-8.el5). I've tested this version with f9 and it works, but if you could also confirm I'd appreciate it. I think this is the same as bug 441788 I reported for F9. I tried again with the latest rawhide and got the same with python-virtinst-0.300.3-5.fc9 and virt-manager-0.5.4-3.fc9. Perhaps I am missing something or doing something wrong? Hmm. So I assume you are trying PV installs on the rhel5 host? Can you post ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log after trying both an f8 and an f9 install? Also can you describe exactly where it errors? My packages are: # rpm -qa | grep virt libvirt-0.3.3-5.el5 python-virtinst-0.300.2-8.el5 virt-manager-0.5.3-7.el5 virt-viewer-0.0.2-1.el5 libvirt-python-0.3.3-5.el5 And I can't reproduce this for an F8 guest. Rawhide using http://fedora.zero42.at/linux/development/x86_64/os/ also works fine and makes it to the install prompt. I am afraid I don't normally use RHEL5 but was testing for a colleague here
who does - let me provide more detailed info once I have managed to get it working
under F9/rawhide, which is now at 0.5.4.
> Rawhide using [..] also works fine and makes it to the install prompt.
Yes I think I get to stage1 too, but the problem I see is not reaching stage2 AFAICR
(and the same thing under rawhide).
hmm. If you can get to stage1, after that point it is pretty much out of virt-managers hands. So if you can't pull down stage2, my guess is that the guest networking wasn't doing its job and couldn't pull down stage2. I just made it to stage2 on rhel5 installing a rawhide guest. Regardless, post your results when you get setup and hopefully we can track down the culprit. Thanks. Ok I tried again now a bit harder and managed to install current rawhide with both paravirt and fullvirt. I did get a python backtrace once but basically it is working for me now. (In reply to comment #6) > Ok I tried again now a bit harder and managed to install current rawhide > with both paravirt and fullvirt. Errm, well at least PV. ;) Wouldn't it make sense to disable FV in virt-manager installer if it is not available? virt-manager *does* disable the FV option if the host OS does not support it. If this is not working please file a *separate* bug report. 1 bug report per ticket please. |
