Description Aron Griffis 2009-05-08 03:01:48 UTC
Description of problem:
rawhide (post-f11preview) on HP ProLiant DL385.  Attempt to install f10 guest
with:

virt-install --name=f10-vm1 --ram=256 --hvm --accelerate \
  --location=http://md2020.nashua/install/x86_64/fedora10/ \
  --file=/dev/VolGroup00/f10-vm1 --nographics \
  --extra-args=console=ttyS0,115200

It always hangs here:

I've tried text install (--nographics as above) and vnc console, doesn't make
a difference, always hangs in the same spot.  I've also tried with and without
proxy settings, same thing.  I am able to wget install.img to the host so it
doesn't seem to be a problem with the server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.29.2-126.fc11.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.10-16.fc11.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.400.3-8.fc11.noarch
libvirt-0.6.2-6.fc11.x86_64
libvirt-python-0.6.2-6.fc11.x86_64

How reproducible:
three times in a row

Okay, figured out that it's running out of memory.  Increasing to --ram=512 allows the transfer to complete and the installation to continue
