Hi,
I'm trying to install a qemu-kvm virtual machine on a Debian GNU/Linux
squeeze amd64 host, using virtinst 0.500.3 and libvirt 0.8.3.
First I tried this command as a normal user (in groups kvm and libvirt):
$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name test1 \
--ram $((128 * 1024 * 1024)) --vcpus=1 --description 'Test VM
1' \
--location=http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/ \
--extra-args='auto url=http://10.0.0.128/baldr1.cfg' \
--os-type=linux --os-variant=debiansqueeze \
--disk path=/mnt/data/vms/test1.img --network bridge=br0 \
--nographics --hvm --virt-type=kvm --serial pty --autostart
This failed, giving me the following output:
Starting install...

I tried the same virt-install command without "--serial pty" and as
root, to no avail.
I then tried setting "console" using --extra-args, i.e.:
$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name test1 \
--ram $((128 * 1024 * 1024)) --vcpus=1 --description 'Test VM
1' \
--location=http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/ \
--extra-args='console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8' \
--os-type=linux --os-variant=debiansqueeze \
--disk path=/mnt/data/vms/test1.img --network bridge=br0 \
--nographics --hvm --virt-type=kvm --serial pty --autostart
Again, I get the same error.
Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this error or give me some hints to
troubleshoot this? So far nothing in the Python or C code of libvirt
stands out at me, and nothing in ~/.virtinst/virt-install.log looks
helpful.
Since there's no specific error message to say why the process exited,
does this perhaps mean that debian-installer is simply shutting down
immediately after booting?
(I'm sending this to the libvirt-users list because it looks like a
libvirt issue. Let me know if I should query a different list.)
Thanks,

this. But I'm not sure if that's related to why QEMU crashes later on.

qemudParsePCIDeviceStrs should be involked when detecting the

However, unfortunately, I can't even find the function from

So it looks like libvirtd (0.8.3) is trying to get a list of all
It's too old. :-), can you try to upgrade your libvirt?
properties of the pci-assign driver, but QEMU 0.12.x doesn't

this. But I'm not sure if that's related to why QEMU crashes later on.

qemudParsePCIDeviceStrs should be involked when detecting the
qemu capability, and it should be the cause of the qemu crash.
s/should/should not/,
However, unfortunately, I can't even find the function from
git log.

qemudParsePCIDeviceStrs should be involked when detecting the
qemu capability, and it should [not] be the cause of the qemu crash.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
However, unfortunately, I can't even find the function from
git log.
It's defined statically at src/qemu/qemu_conf.c:1384 in libvirt 0.8.3
[1].

Yeah, I'm trying to set up virtual machines in an old host system, which
I plan to reinstall – likely with a newer OS version – after I move all
of its services to the VMs. :)
I installed backported packages of libvirt 0.9.12 and qemu-kvm 1.1.2.
Running virt-install again failed, but this time QEMU gave a rather
helpful error message:

Domain installation does not appear to have been

by running 'virsh start test1'; otherwise, please

(This error message is from qemu_memalign() at oslib-posix.c:95 in
qemu-kvm 1.1.2 [2].)
Apparently I misunderstood the units of the --ram option value… On my
system which has 2 GiB of RAM, running virt-install with a --ram option
value of "128" (128 MiB) instead of "$((128 * 1024 * 1024))" (128
TiB!)
worked much better. :)
So this is just a case of user error, hidden by a lack of output in an
old version of QEMU.

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the noise over such a mistake,

There's nothing there about the issue at hand, but the full QEMU command
is there. So I tried executing it (with "fd=41," removed from the
"-net tap,…" option):

# echo ${?}
134
So it looks live I've reproduced the issue outside of libvirtd. But I
don't know what an exit status of 134 from QEMU means. Any ideas?
Thanks,
