<br />
I am having problems getting a KVM guest to obtain a DHCP address when using virt-manager GUI. The KVM host has been set up with bridged networking, and I can successfully kickstart a host using the command line<br />
<br />
virt-install --name=vtest --ram 512 -f /dev/vg00/vtest --vcpus=2 --network bridge=br0 -l http://10.62.128.11/mirrors/scientific/6.1/x86_64/os -x "ks=http://10.62.128.11/kickstart/vm-test.cfg console=ttyS0"<br />
<br />
However, I cannot get it to work when using virt-manager GUI<br />
<br />
I select 'Network Boot' (PXE), under 'Advanced Options', I select 'Host device em1 (Bridge 'br0'), leaving the default Mac address options, however, it fails to get a DHCP address, giving the following error in the console:<br />
<br />

It generates the following network config in the xml:<br />

</interface></span></span><br />

<br />
>From KVM guests I have kickstarted via the command line method, I can get DHCP addresses.<br />
I cannot even see any DHCP requests on br0 on the KVM when it is attempting to get an address via GUI method<br />
<br />
<br />
Any ideas why the virt-manager method does not work?<br />
<br />
