I have a couple of machines now loaded with b98.

I can't install a hvm guest!

I tried:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
ISO=/home/emike/xvm/ISOs/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_x64_with_sp2_cd1_X13-06188.iso
set -x

virt-install \
    --hvm \
    -n win2k3zvol \
    -f /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/clients/win2k3 \
    -c ${ISO} \
    --nographics \
    --os-type=windows \
    --os-variant=win2k3 \
    -r 1024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and I get:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# sh win2003zvol.sh
+ virt-install --hvm -n win2k3zvol -f /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/clients/win2k3 
-c 
/home/emike/xvm/ISOs/en_win_srv_2003_r2_enterprise_x64_with_sp2_cd1_X13-06188.iso

--nographics --os-type=windows --os-variant=win2k3 -r 1024

Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start win2k3zvol'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.

And it just sits there for hours doing nothing.

# virsh list

---------------------------------------
 0 Domain-0                   Running
 2 s10u6                      Running

Any ideas?  Is 98 broken?

I can install Nevada 98 as a PV guest, no problem.
