Description of problem: This BZ is a spinoff of #306871 . If the installation takes longer than the time specified in --wait, virt-installs prints the following error: "Installation has exceeded specified timelimit. Aborting. " which sounds like the installation has aborted even though the installation isn't touched. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.300.2-12.el5 How reproducible: Very.
Okay, I fixed this upstream. I changed 'Aborting' to 'Exiting application'. I think that makes it more clear without being too verbose: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virtinst--devel/rev/0977f391639e
Built in python-virtinst-0.400.3-1.el5. Setting to MODIFIED.
Verified virt-install with --wait para printed "Installation has exceeded specified time limit. Existing application." with python-virtinst-0.400.3-5.el5.
