Re: [cobbler] [PATCH 0/5] Port koan from virtinst to virt-install command
Hi Msquared, I'm surprised by that. It should be fixed afaik. Which version are you using?

Re: [cobbler] [PATCH 0/5] Port koan from virtinst to virt-install command
Apparently with using virt-install, it no longer passes in the kickstart boot option, which is a pretty serious regression. My install attempt: koan -v --virt-type=qemu --qemu-disk-type=virtio --qemu-net-type=virtio --virt-bridge=br0 --system=vmsl6rolling generated: - ['virt-install', '--connect', 'qemu:///system', '--name', 'vmsl6rolling', '--ram', '512', '--vcpus', '1', '--autostart', '--vnc', '--virt-type', 'qemu', '--hvm', '--location', 'http://sl.cora.nwra.com/6rolling/x86_64/os/', '--arch', 'x86_64', '--os-variant', 'rhel6', '--disk', 'path=/dev/mapper/vg_root-vmsl6rolling--disk0,size=10,bus=virtio,driver_type=raw', '--network', 'bridge=br0,model=virtio,mac=00:16:3e:63:1b:e1', '--wait', '0', '--noautoconsole'] and so no kickstart.

Yep, kvm should be the preferred option. I'll work on fixing the bug for those that need good old qemu though. ___ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
