Package: virtinst
Version: 0.400.0-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The virt-install command uses Redhat style CPU arch naming, causing an error
fetching the kernel and initrd from the mirror.
I've worked around this by hardcoding the arch in the file
/usr/share/python-support/virtinst/virtinst/OSDistro.py thus:
538,539c538,539
< kernelpath = "%s/netboot/debian-installer/%s/linux" %
(self._prefix, self.arch)
< initrdpath = "%s/netboot/debian-installer/%s/initrd.gz" %
(self._prefix, self.arch)
---
> kernelpath = "%s/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux" %
> (self._prefix)
> initrdpath = "%s/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz" %
> (self._prefix)
This isn't a real fix, more of a quick hack, but it does get the installer to
run.
