[CentOS-virt] Virt-install Error on Centos 5.4 64bit and kvm
Hi guys, I hope you can help me on this issue with kvm/libvirt:
using this command to install a kvm virtual machine:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
--name p3k0401 \
--ram 2048 \
--file //dev/VolGroup01/p3k0401logvol \
--accelerate \
-s 10 \
--nographics \
--hvm \
--location='http://10.1.4.80'
I get:
Starting install...

Retrieving file initrd.img... | 7.1 MB 00:00
ERROR internal error Domain p3k0401 didn't show up

I would guess that this package would conflict with the kvm package and mess things up. Your error message mentions /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 as the executable. If you run rpm -qf /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 does it then tell you that this file belong to the qemu package? If so, I believe this is your problem...you try to use qemu, which has partial KVM support, instead of using qemu-kvm (which is the "real" KVM userspace executable that originates from the kvm package). I don't think the arguments supported by qemu-system-x86_64 and qemu-kvm are the same, which probably could be the cause of the client not booting and libvirt/virt-manager failing. Best Regards Kenni
