What happens if you increase the memory given to the guest? This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. --ram=1025 fails too --ram=2028 works ok --ram=1100 works ok wondering what should be the very minimum I can use with virt-manager for a KVM guest (was expecting 1GB ram) virt-install --accelerate --name=el6b2test --vcpus=1 --ram=1100 --vnc --location=http://... -s 6 --file=/dev/VolGroup00/el6b2test May be the previous --ram=1024 was not exactly 1GB to meet all the minimum requirements? If I do not virt-install, but the virt-manager gui, it all works fine as expected (I prefer the cli) How are you pointing the install to the .iso? Using --location=http:// will pull from wherever you point to, not the DVD image. This will require additional RAM since it downloads the install.img to the virt (about 120M). to a tree vi http, the full command was like: virt-install --accelerate --name=el6b2 --vcpus=1 --ram=1024 --vnc --location=http://10.14.7.221/rhel6b2/tree/ -s 6 --file=/dev/VolGroup00/el6b2 to a tree via http, the full command was like: virt-install --accelerate --name=el6b2 --vcpus=1 --ram=1024 --vnc --location=http://10.14.7.221/rhel6b2/tree/ -s 6 --file=/dev/VolGroup00/el6b2 This works fine for me on f13, I even tried with --ram=768 If you can get to tty2 could you cd to /tmp, hit the up-arrow until you see the history line with kill -USR2 in it and execute that. It will create a full traceback file named something like anaconda-tb-xHfP8E, attach that file to this bug and I'll see if I can figure out why it is acting differently on your setup. Note This is very, very likely a dup of bug 607650. I think it is related to virtio drivers, please also see my comment here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=610255#c4 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 607650 *** |
