CentOS virt - Aug 2016 - dracut-initqueue timeout with virt-install... but it works (kinda?)

Hello,

 I?m using virt-install to build a guest system with CentOS.    The system boots
up, times out with dracut-initqueue timeout and drops me into an emergency
shell.   If I exit the shell the install continues and I get a working machine.

Any ideas?


virt-install \
    -n TEST \
    -r 8192 \
    --os-type=linux \
    --disk=/vm-images/test.img,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=100,format=raw \
    --ram=8192 \
    --network bridge:br77 \
    --location /home/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso \
    --initrd-inject=/home/kickstart.cfg \
    --extra-args="ks=file:/kickstart.cfg" \
    --debug \
    --accelerate



kickstart.cfg:

text

cdrom
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6
rootpw testing123
firewall --service=ssh

selinux --disable

reboot 

%packages --nobase

%end

Dear Matthew,
Quick check your VM guest parameter if they have below;
1) is "--vcpu=x"? parameter set?
2) what are you getting from debug log?
PS: Sample of virt-install $OS $Net $KS $Disk $Src $Gr $Cpu $Ram --name=$Name
