Hi,
I've loop-mounted the latest CentOS Stream 9 DVD ISO and try to do a virt-install (2.0.x for some reason) as non-root user (libvirt group member) using --location with the mount path, but then I come across the problem decribed here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2022630
That is, I see on the console "Starting dracut initqueue hook...", then it stalls for a while, and then I get all the timeouts described in the bug report.
Any suggestions for a workaround (with virt-install 2.0.x and as non-root user)?
Background: Dor some reason I need to use virt-install 2.0.x as non-root to install CentOS Stream 9. The "normal" way, specifying a URL with --location, does not work because it fails with permission denied for losetup. It looks like virt-install 3.2.x does not have this problem anymore.
Does the same happen when using the ISO file directly as location argument?
-l /.../CentOS.iso
