OK, success !! - here's what i did first i created my image hard drives and started kvm with the following command - adjust to suit your VM
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kvm -boot d -m 512 -hda '/home/steve/Desktop/REDHAT TRAINING/VM/disk1' -hdb '/home/steve/Desktop/REDHAT TRAINING/VM/disk2' -hdd '/home/steve/Desktop/REDHAT TRAINING/VM/disk3' -cdrom '/home/steve/Desktop/REDHAT TRAINING/VM/CentOS-5.2-i386-bin-DVD.iso' -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -localtime i skipped the media check and waited and waited.... after a while i get the normal errors appearing on console 4 ( ALT F4 ) - hdc DSC timeout after a longer time you'll be able to access the console with ( ALT F2 ) then i issued the following command about 5 times with a minute between them ( maybe once is enough ) echo "dsc_overlap:0">/proc/ide/ide1/hdc/settings The system console shows that the command is obsolete... soon and ' device is busy ' or something like that. Also notice that the command is ide1 not ide0 like my previous post. It looks like its not going to work but after a while you can switch back to the install screen ( ALT F1) it should say "Welcome to CentOS" proceed with install as usual, partition, select desktop, password. I skipped setting up the network but i was connected when i rebooted the VM worked for me.. good luck -- KVM very, very slow with RedHat and Solaris guests https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239355 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
