libvirt users - Dec 2010 - Problems Installing KVM Guest + Console Access

Hi,

Im having real issues with getting a kvm guest up and running on CentOS 5.5

I have expanded the iso to a path on my system as I have been told that
the -x (extra arguments) will not work with the -cdrom option, so I am now
using -location, but still the extra arguments are not being picked up.

So what do I need to do to get a guest up and working with console access
to view the install as its driving me crazy.

Thanks

Tony

At first, guess you are using virt-install.

Could you paste the DEBUG log here so that we could see if the
extra arguments were really not pciked up?

And do you have to use text console to view the installation
process, why not vnc? :-)
