As mentioned in bug 105195 did the command kvm -m 512 \ -hda /dev/mapper/lvm-xp \ -cdrom Images/ISO/en_winxp_pro_with_sp2.iso \ -boot d \ -name xp \ -k de \ -vnc :1 successfully install XP (without any reformat-hacks though).
So the bug seems to be in virt-install and/or virt-manager, maybe the --os-type and/or --os-variant enables some weird workaround which actually breaks the setup. I'll have a try later. -- XP fails to install in KVM on a LVM block device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298056 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
