Hey Guys, I've filed a bug report as jimi_c recommended. You can find it here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839009 And I had the opportunity to work with jimi_c. I followed some steps he have me where I removed all of the *.pyo and *.pyc files on the koan directory and edited virtinstall.py to comment out a couple of lines that he pointed me to: 1. Change: 2. 3. if virt_auto_boot: 4. cmd += "--autostart " 5. 6. to: 7. 8. 9. #if virt_auto_boot: 10. # cmd += "--autostart " Once I did that I no longer got the koan: error: --virt-auto-boot problem But now I am getting a different result: [root@LCENT01:~] #koan --virt --server=cobbler --profile=xen32 --virt-name=vm01 - looking for Cobbler at http://cobbler:80/cobbler_api - reading URL: http://192.168.1.36/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/xen32 install_tree: http://192.168.1.36/cblr/links/rhel62-i386 libvirtd (pid 2801) is running... downloading initrd initrd.img to /var/lib/xen/initrd.img_koan url=http://192.168.1.36/cobbler/images/rhel62-i386/initrd.img - reading URL: http://192.168.1.36/cobbler/images/rhel62-i386/initrd.img downloading kernel vmlinuz to /var/lib/xen/vmlinuz_koan url=http://192.168.1.36/cobbler/images/rhel62-i386/vmlinuz - reading URL: http://192.168.1.36/cobbler/images/rhel62-i386/vmlinuz - warning: old python-virtinst detected, a lot of features will be disabled - adding disk: /mnt/xen//vm01-disk0 of size 10 (driver type=raw) - ['virt-install', '--connect', 'xen:///', '--name', 'vm01', '--ram', '256', '--vcpus', '1', '--uuid', 'ffdb2c9b-a7b3-aac0-2eb9-18d7d60e9098', '--vnc', '--paravirt', '--boot', 'kernel=/var/lib/xen/vmlinuz_koan,initrd=/var/lib/xen/initrd.img_koan,kernel_args=ks= http://192.168.1.36/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/xen32 ksdevice=link kssendmac lang= text ', '--os-variant', 'rhel6', '--disk', 'path=/mnt/xen//vm01-disk0,size=10', '--network', 'bridge=xenbr0', '--wait', '0', '--noautoconsole'] usage: virt-install --name NAME --ram RAM STORAGE INSTALL [options] virt-install: error: no such option: --boot command failed (2) It's yet another virt-install error this time complaining about boot Here's a report on the profile I'm trying to use - [root@VIRTCENT14 ~]# cobbler profile report --name=xen32 Name : xen32 TFTP Boot Files : {} Comment : DHCP Tag : default Distribution : rhel62-i386 Enable gPXE? : 0 Enable PXE Menu? : 1 Fetchable Files : {} Kernel Options : {} Kernel Options (Post Install) : {} Kickstart : /var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/xen.ks Kickstart Metadata : {} Management Classes : [] Management Parameters : <<inherit>> Name Servers : [] Name Servers Search Path : [] Owners : ['admin'] Parent Profile : Proxy : Red Hat Management Key : <<inherit>> Red Hat Management Server : <<inherit>> Repos : ['Centos6-UPDATES', 'Centos6-REMI'] Server Override : <<inherit>> Template Files : {} Virt Auto Boot : 0 Virt Bridge : xenbr0 Virt CPUs : 1 Virt Disk Driver Type : raw Virt File Size(GB) : 10 Virt Path : /mnt/xen/ Virt RAM (MB) : 256 Virt Type : xenpv Not sure where to go from here.
