Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

I can reproduce it with build:
virt-manager-2.0.0-5.el8.noarch

Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-manager-2.2.1-1.el8.noarch
virt-install-2.2.1-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-4.5.0-24.module+el8.1.0+3205+41ff0a42.x86_64

libosinfo-1.5.0-2.el8.x86_64


Steps:

1. Install a vm with option "--os-variant rhel7" 

# virt-install --name testvm --memory 1024 --vcpus 1  --location http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.7-20190716.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ --os-variant rhel7  --nodisk
WARNING  OS name 'rhel7' is deprecated, using 'rhel7.0' instead. This alias will be removed in the future.

Starting install...
Retrieving file vmlinuz...                                  | 6.4 MB  00:00     
Retrieving file initrd.img...                               |  55 MB  00:00     
...

Result: No causing stack trace, just a clear warning message shows to user, it's as expected.

Then installing a vm with "--os-variant rhel7.0" instead 

# virt-install --name testvm --memory 1024 --vcpus 1  --location http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL-7.7-20190716.0/compose/Server/x86_64/os/ --os-variant rhel7.0  --nodisk

Starting install...
Retrieving file vmlinuz...                                  | 6.4 MB  00:00     
Retrieving file initrd.img...                               |  55 MB  00:01     

Installation starts successfully, so I move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED, thanks.
