https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/issues/195 specifically: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/issues/195#issuecomment-440292975 To reproduce, easiest is to spin up a f29 container (or VM if you think in the past ;) ) and `make install` from a coreos-assembler git checkout, follow the docs in the README.md to do a build of FCOS: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/
Can you provide the virt-install command line you are using, and the --debug output?

Okay looks like this is the same issue reported over here, which I was just commenting on :) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1654055 --location + boot.iso doesn't work anymore. I didn't even know it used to work. I really don't want to add the code that made it work back into virt-install if I can avoid it. Alternatives are: --location $url or --location $dir, or --location $fulltreeiso, which should all just work. Are any of those readily available in how your build process works?

(In reply to Colin Walters from comment #5) > BTW, 2.0.0 recursively tracebacks with --os-variant=rhel7 Yeah that's fixed upstream, I need to do a bugfix release...
In theory yes, I took a stab at this in: https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/225 However Anaconda fails to find its stage2, haven't debugged that yet.
Upstream will now ask libosinfo for help identifying iso kernel/initrd locations. It uses a different database and can recognize many boot.iso style media, like fedora in my testing, and also has the added benefit that virt-install doesn't require an explicit --os-variant which is easy to miss and without it you'll get crap non-virtio defaults. Additionally I added some CLI support for manually pointing at kernel/initrd paths in an ISO if virt-install fails to detect it, so there's a bit of a workaround. Say foo.iso isn't detected by libosinfo/virt-install, but it has a kernel at images/vmlinuz and initrd at images/initrd.gz, you can do virt-install --location foo.iso,kernel=images/vmlinuz,initrd=images/initrd.gz So there's at least a workaround. But if you find media that libosinfo/virt-install doesn't detect, please file a libosinfo bug. I'll be doing a release and build shortly
Thanks Cole! Can you update us here with a link to that build once you have it and we can test things out?
virt-manager 2.1.0 is out now and pushed to f29 updates-testing: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-c38a307cd5
