Agreed @cborntra, if that is your use case then those two ways are not equivalent. Then for now I only know of the "workaround to specify kernel/initramfs directly" that you are aware of as well.
Let's see what feedback Andrew gets when asking to change the path back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1872941 Title: [Ubuntu 20.04] virt-install fails to detect path after images folder name has changed Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in virt-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Installer version: Latest https://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x Description/Reproduction: Start virt-install with the following options: virt-install \ --name ubuntu20-guest1 \ --memory 4096 \ --vcpus 4 \ --disk "size=4" \ --location http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x \ --network "network=default" Error: ERROR Error validating install location: Could not find an installable distribution at 'http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x' The location must be the root directory of an install tree. See virt-install man page for various distro examples. Looking at previous releases I would guess it expects an "images" directory instead of the new "classic-images" directory. I'm aware of the workaround to specify kernel/initramfs directly but that shouldn't be a solution. == Comment: #2 - Andre Wild1 <andre.wi...@ibm.com> - 2020-04-15 03:51:21 == (In reply to comment #0) > Installer version: Latest > https://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/focal/main/installer-s390x > Sorry I've copied the wrong link.
