Try adding 'serial text' to the kernel command line with the virt-install '-x' command line option. I have seen this as well using xl, and adding serial text doesn't help. If you have a graphical window open I think there is a mini trace back in it. I will post it when I get a chance to reproduce it. virt-install -n VF16T -p -x --nographics -r 2048 -f /dev/sda7 -l http://192.168.0.102/f16 --debug brings up VNC window , that is not supposed to happen. The back trace you get in the graphical window with "serial text" is Starting Anaconda version 16.25. loader received SIGSEGV! Backtrace: /bin/loader[0x42261e] /bin/loader[0x40967a] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xed)[0x7fb05bbce69d] /sbin/loader[0x40b799] However I have also found that booting with "serial text console=hvc0" does work. Also can confirm adding "serial text console=hvc0" works. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 742896 *** |
