Package: virtinst Version: 0.400.0-7 Severity: normal Trying to install an i386 Lenny guest on a 64-bit (i.e., amd64) Lenny KVM host, virt-install looks for the kernel to download in a x86_64 folder. Failure output below.
I tried adding --arch i386 but then it would complain that hvm was not supported for that architecture. I temporarily edited /usr/share/python-support/virtinst/virtinst/OSDistro.py around line 538 to set arch to i386 right before filling in kernelpath and initrdpath variables and resetting to x86_64 right afterwards, which made the installation take off just fine. This should probably be implemented by looking for these files in a i386 subdirectory instead of x86_64, or at least falling back when there's already an i386 string somewhere in the location string. And/or maybe add a subarch or bitness level somewhere on the DebianDistro which is used in the format string on the lines above. And which can ideally be set to a specific value through a command-line option. Kind regards, Filip mecha...@jotunn:~$ virt-install --vnc -v -r 512 -n lenny_x86 -f /srv/virtual/kvm/disks/lenny_x86.img -d --accelerate --connect=qemu:///system -s 2 --os-type=linux --os-variant=debianLenny --location=http://mirrors.uwa.edu.au/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-i386 --prompt vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG Using libvirt URI connect 'qemu:///system' vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG Requesting virt method 'hvm' vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG Received virt method 'hvm' vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG Hypervisor type is 'kvm' vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG Didn't find path '/srv/virtual/kvm/disks/lenny_x86.img' managed on connection: no storage vol with matching path vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG Using self.path for VirtualDisk. vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 DEBUG VirtualDisk storage does not exist. vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:31 WARNING The filesystem will not have enough free space to fully allocate the sparse file when the guest is running. 2048 M requested > 922 M available The filesystem will not have enough free space to fully allocate the sparse file when the guest is running. 2048 M requested > 922 M available Do you really want to use the disk (yes or no)? yes vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:41 DEBUG Could not open "/etc/sysconfig/keyboard": [Errno 2] Bestand of map bestaat niet: '/etc/sysconfig/keyboard' vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:41 DEBUG Didn't find keymap 'be' in keytable! vr, 28 aug 2009 21:34:41 DEBUG DistroInstaller location is a network source.
