 internal error: Process exited while reading console log output:

I am using the same virt-install that works for kvm.

virt-install \
--debug \
--autostart \
--desc="CentOS-7-1503-01" \
--name vm \
--os-type=linux \
--vcpus 8 \
--ram 1024 \
--disk path=/root/vm.img,size=2,sparse=true,cache=none \
--cdrom=/home/xyz/xen/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1503-01.iso \
--graphics vnc \
‹force

This type of problem seems to have been reported many times in the past but
none of the answers seems to fit my case.

Thanks for any help
