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.

Description of problem:

While an x86_64 RHEL6 PV Xen guest can be created with virt-manager,
all attempts to do so with an x86 RHEL6 x86 PV guest fail.  
Presumably this could be a virt-manager or virt-install issue,
but they both seemt to work fine, but when anaconda runs, it
causes the console screen to "go black" if virt-manager is used, or
causes an anaconda exception if the virt-install CLI is used.  
The anaconda exception xml is attached, but has this message
at the top:

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:
anaconda 13.21.54 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1946, in writeKS

host: x86_64 running 2.6.18-194.el5xen 
guest: x86 x86 2.6.32-37.el6 (attempted)

How reproducible:

With virt-manager, anaconda doesn't start (screen goes black)
With virt-install, anaconda exception (xml file attached)
