| Summary | 0015139: virt-install: Cannot install Ubuntu from ISO ('Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree') | ||||
| Description | Installing an Ubuntu 16.04 (or 14.04) guest using virt-install, errors out with the following message: Starting install... Retrieving file info... | 67 B 00:00:00 ERROR Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree. Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start k8s otherwise, please restart your installation. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Use the following command line (as root, as required by --location being an ISO image): # virt-install --cpu host --hvm --arch x86_64 --name test --os-type linux --os-variant ubuntu16.04 --virt-type kvm --connect=qemu:///system --vcpus 2 --memory 2048 --serial pty --console pty --disk=test.qcow2,format=qcow2,bus=virtio --location ubuntu-16.04.3-server-amd64.iso --network network=default,model=virtio Starting install... Retrieving file info... | 67 B 00:00:00 ERROR Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree. Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start k8s otherwise, please restart your installation. Same thing loopback-mounting the ISO and using --location /path/to/loopback/iso | ||||

CentOS is a rebuild of the sources used to create RHEL and aims to reproduce RHEL bug for bug and feature for feature. Please submit your request to Redhat via bugzilla.redhat.com and if/when RH accepts it and incorporates it into RHEL and releases a patched version, then CentOS will pick it up automatically. For easier tracking, please crosslink this bug with the one opened at bugzilla.redhat.com. |
