Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-03-02 16:25:09 UTC
...
libguestfs: trace: inspect_os = []

Inspection is failing to find any installers in the
disk image.  As it's an installer, not a full operating system,
virt-builder --get-kernel isn't expected to work.

Nevertheless it would be nice for inspection not to fail.

The easiest thing is to grab the ISO, run `isoinfo' on it,
and supply the information to the libosinfo project (check that
they don't have it already), since for installer disks libguestfs now
uses data from libosinfo to identify them.

Comment 2 Red Hat Bugzilla 2025-10-17 00:10:19 UTC
This product has been discontinued or is no longer tracked in Red Hat Bugzilla.

Comment 3 Alasdair Kergon 2025-10-17 12:52:13 UTC
Reopening because Virtualization Tools has not been discontinued.
