I should note that I feel the fix is very low risk: it has been upstream for 2 months, and in that time regression testing has greatly improved, so I have high confidence that this change doesn't cause other issues. Fixed in python-virtinst-0.400.3-2.el5. Closing as NEXTRELEASE, since this bug has not existed in any released package as it was brought in by the rebase. |
In version python-virtinst-0.400.3-1.el5 Running: virt-install --connect test:///default --name foo --ram 64 --pxe --nographics --noautoconsole --disk path=virt-install,device=floppy Results in: Starting install... internal error Invalid floppy device name: hda Domain installation may not have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start foo'; otherwise, please restart your installation.
