I'm not shure if it is a bug. Had the same problem on Gentoo. It seems
one should use cache=none when using row or host_device on lvm. Setting
-drive ...,cache=none before the first stage of windows XP installation
solved the problem.

I was AFK for a few months but tried it on lucid yesterday and XP
installed fine. So I guess whatever this was, it is fixed.

Does anyone else still have this issue with a recent version of virt-
manager?

Thanks for reporting this issue.
Can you reproduce this issue with a more recent version of virt-manager,
such as the one in Karmic or Lucid?

XP fails to install in KVM on a LVM block device
The libvitrtd and the kernel was updated since the last time I tried.
Now installing via virt-install seems to work fine. But installing from
virt-manager hangs on the BIOS screen where it says Booting from Hard
Disk...
m...@otherland:~$ apt-cache policy kvm virt-manager libvirt-bin linux-image
I tried it again. Last time the virtual machine switched off after the
first Setup stage (I actually didn't watch it too closely). This time
it rebootet and tried to boot from CD-ROM again. Now it hangs after
Press any key to boot from CD. (I didn't). See attachment.
** Attachment added:
When I shutdown the machine after waiting for ages and start it again,
Windows will boot from CD again (without asking me to press any key),
ie. won't find the half-installed OS.

Comparing the two log files it seems that virt-install didn't use KVM
(guess I had to use the --accelerate switch). Lets see if LVM is really
the culprit or the KVM acceleration...

Ok, tried it. Either I was hallucinating or the original bug is fixed
indeed: Now installing without acceleration, ie. domain type=qemu,
works both on block devices and images while installing with domain
type=kvm fails in both cases.
I think the latter is a known bug, just got to find the
Just a tip, in intrepid, the command at the top works, but it does not
have any network access. Modify the command as so for the default
network interface:
virt-install \
--connect qemu:///system --hvm \
-n xp \
-r 512 \
-f xp.img -s 12 \
-c
XP fails to install on raw device, but it also fails to install when
using virt-install or virt-manager on a qcow2 image. What is the
difference here with bug 105195?

The difference is/was (got to try it again when I've got some time) that
in my case installing on a qcow2-image is no problem while installing
directly on a block device fails.

Some additional information:
I use qemu file images for my virtual disks, no raw devices. And I tried
different OS types (general, vista, dos, linux,...) It all fails. Next week
I'll try 8.10 again to check the proposed workaround.

@pva: Then you should subscribe to bug 105195 instead; I opened this bug
explicitly for the sub-bug of failing installs related to raw devices
while installation to a virtual disk works fine. Sorry if I didn't make
that clear :)

As mentioned in bug 105195 did the command

-cdrom Images/ISO/en_winxp_pro_with_sp2.iso \
-boot d \

successfully install XP (without any reformat-hacks though).
So the bug seems to be in virt-install and/or

I have the same problem on 8.10 (AMD-64) (EXT3 on LVM on encrypted
partition). Other installations work (jeos) If i use qemu instead of kvm
the installation will pass the first boot and the graphical
installations starts. (Q6700 cpu)
On 8.04-1 (AMD-64) with the same configuration I have no
22 matches
