Say I have a version of Fedora with a custom kernel that I wish to test. Is it possible to install this as a KVM guest virtual machine? If so, how?
I've found online lots of examples of how to install a standard OS as a KVM guest virtual machine. Installation requires a CD, DVD, or an ISO image on HDD. I haven't found any mention of how to install a custom OS. The closest possibility I've found is the "virt-install" command. According to the man-page, the "location" parameter specifies an "installable distribution image". I interpret "installable distribution image" to mean an ISO image. I'm specifically looking to do this on KVM, not on VirtualBox or VMWare. I would expect the kernel developers do this all the time, and I'm surprised I haven't found anything. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Aug 3 - Scala - 100th MHVLUG meeting Sep 7 - DIY 3D Printing and the Makerbot Thing-o-Matic Oct 5 - Distributed Authentication Systems
