[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...

ERROR internal error Domain p3k0401 didn't show up



Domain installation may not have been

successful. If it was, you can restart your domain

by running 'virsh start p3k0401'; otherwise, please

I haven't used CentOS as a KVM host yet, only Fedora, but your setup
still puzzles me...why do you have a brand new qemu-package (as in
"not from the CentOS/RHEL repositories") installed? 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.
