Hello:
I am using kvm on a CentOS 5.4 server.
I am trying to install the TunkeyLinux Core appliance
found here:
http://www.turnkeylinux.org/core
I downloaded the ISO file from the web site.
Then, I used this command to intall it:
virt-install -n tkl-core -r 512 --vcpus=1 --check-cpu --os-type=linux
--os-variant=ubuntuhardy -v --accelerate
-c /tmp/turnkey-core-2009.10-hardy-x86.iso
-f /var/lib/libvirt/images/tkl-core.img -s 15 -b br0 --vnc noautoconsole
When I connect to the VNC console, I get the Turnkey linux
options screen.
I select Install to hard disk from there and it seems to
start the install but crashes during the installer startup.
This is repeatable so there has to be a way to debug it.
I tried turning on the debug option for virt-install but that
did not give me any useful info.
virt-install debug options only relate to host side debugging. From your
description it sounds like the crashes is guest side, so you'd likely
need to set guest kenrel debug options - eg make it log to the serial
console at boot time so you see guest kernel messages
