Adding hongzliu & juzhou in CC list as this may be an issue of virt-install. Adding yacao & huzhao in CC list as not sure whether this is cloud-init issue at last. Feel free to comment here if you have any comments. Test this option on RHEL9.1
Packages:
# rpm -q virt-manager virt-install libvirt
virt-manager-3.2.0-14.el9.noarch
virt-install-3.2.0-14.el9.noarch
libvirt-8.4.0-1.el9.x86_64
Step1:
prepare a user-data file:
# cat user-data
#cloud-config
chpasswd:
list: |
root:123456
expire: false
Step2:Run the command below to set the root password to 123456, then login to the vm
# virt-install --memory 4096 --disk /home/RHEL-9.1.0-20220612.2-x86_64.qcow2 --cloud-init user-data=./user-data --import
expected result: password for root is "123456"
actual result : password won't be changed

Yeah this looks like a virt-install issue to me, so I'm fine with moving this to "virt-manager" component Change to virt-manager component after confirmed with Hongzhou. Hello Jonathon. Can you take a look for comment4 and see if is a bug. I am not sure that I use --cloud-init correctly. It works for me on rhel-8.6.0 box. Would you please try that too? And confirm if this is regression or not. Thanks. (In reply to Jaroslav Suchanek from comment #9) > It works for me on rhel-8.6.0 box. Would you please try that too?

I just repeated your steps from comment 4. Please re-run the virt-install command with -d option and attach the output including guest boot here. Thanks.

Hello, I have re-run virt-install with -d and the outputs are here: http://pastebin.test.redhat.com/1070250 Sorry , typo, it's rhel8.6 instead of 8.8 So I just tried with images from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.6/x86_64/product-software and it I'm not able to pass password to the guest. Can somebody provide me with an image where passing the password to the guest works correctly? Thanks. I think I was able to reproduce it consistently, and sent a pull request: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines/pull/791 Changing back to cockpit-machines and restoring assignee/qa-contact changed during comment 7 due to comment 20 Verified with packages: cockpit-machines-273-1.el9.noarch cockpit-275-1.el9.x86_64 libvirt-dbus-1.4.1-5.el9.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-8.5.0-5.el9.x86_64 Steps: 1 Prepare a cloud image like: rhel-guest-image-9.0-20220420.0.x86_64.qcow2 2 Click "Create VM", on Details tab, configure as following: Installation type: "Cloud base image" Installation source： the image file prepared in step1 Operating system：Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Unknown (9-unknown Plow) 3 Click Automation tab, configure as following: Root password:redhat Leave other fields as blank, click "Create and run" 4. When the vm is running, try to login the vm with root and password provided in step 3. Can log in with the password in the vm, so verified.
