Hi!
I am trying to install KVM guest on fedora 10 host system using
virt-install command:
virt-install \
--connect qemu:///system \
--accelerate \
--vnc \
--ram 512 \
--name test \
--mac 00:16:3E:70:8C:D0 \
--network bridge:br0 \
--disk path=/dev/vg-virt/LV1 \
--os-type=linux \
--os-variant=fedora10 \
--location
http://mycompany.local.mirror/fedora/releases/10/Fedora/x86_64/os \
-x "ip=dhcp kssendmac ksdevice=bootif noipv6
ks=http://myweb.server/ks/virt-system/ks-test-bnl-f10-64.cfg"
All goes well to the point when anaconda is trying to do partitioning.
At this moment I see error on the screen - "Error allocating requested
partitions. Partitioning failed. Could not allocate partitions as
primary partitions. Not enough space left to create partition /boot.
Press OK to exit the installer."
kickstart has the following partitions information:
part /boot --asprimary --fstype="ext3" --size=100
part / --fstype="ext3" --size=2000
part swap --fstype="swap" --size=500
part /var/log --fstype="ext3" --size=250
part /usr --fstype="ext3" --size=1 --grow
/dev/vg-virt/LV1 is 9G - should be plenty of space.
I think the LVM information is not being passed to anaconda for some reason.
I had very similar setup on fedora 8 with Xen and it works fine. Is
there anything specific to KVM on fedora 10 that I missed?
Thanks,
Leon
