Description of problem: kvm-74-10.fc10.i386 qemu-0.9.1-10.fc10.i386 How reproducible: From past few days i am trying to install VM via virt-install qemu-kvm on fedora 10 .My all server at remote site and no GUI is running.So i need to install via SSH.When ever i install it and give -nographic command line switch it just hang and never come back.I paste you my steps so you all can see. Steps to Reproduce: 1.qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.img 5G 2.virt-install --name demo --ram 500 --file /var/lib/xen/images/disk.img --nographics --location http://fedora.inode.at/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/os/ OR 3.qemu-kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom fedora10.iso -m 512 -boot d -nographic Actual results: IN Case 2 : it just hang on creating domains.And never return console back IN CASE 3 :shell hangs up and never come back . Then in both case need to use kill command to kill process. Expected results: Its should work how its documented. Additional info:
(In reply to comment #0) > When ever i install it and give -nographic command line switch > it just hang and never come back. virt-install is connecting to the serial console, but the guest isn't using the serial console. Try supplying -x "console=ttyS0" on the virt-install command line. Also, note that VNC installs are incredibly useful - try -x "console=ttyS0 vnc". See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reporting_virtualization_bugs#virt-install
Thanks, -x console=ttySO worked for me. Now I am getting following error after TCP/IP Manual/ DHCP Configuration Network Settings +-----------+ Error +------------+ | | | Unable to retrieve | | http://fedora.inode.at/fedora | | /linux/releases/10/Fedora/i38 | | 6/os//images/install.img. | | | | +----+ | | | OK | | | +----+ | | | | | +--------------------------------+ I have tested the same with local NAP IP '192.168.122.3/255.255.255.0 and live IP's, virt-install is unable to download install.img. Any idea ?
i have also tested with NFS, there is something wrong in network connection and seems a bug.
