Hi,
I am trying to install a C6 VM on C6 using the text installer using:
# virt-install -n C6_1 -r 3072 --os-variant=rhel6 -l \ ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/site/centos.org/CentOS/6.3/os/x86_64/ --disk \ path=/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 -w network:default --nographics \ -x "console=ttyS0" --autostart
/dev/VG1/vm_c6_1 has been successfully created. The installation starts but once I get to the disk partitioning no disk is listed and I cannot continue the installation.
Even worse, if I press space on the empty list CPU usage goes up to 100% for the qemu-kvm process.

Any ideas why anaconda isn't picking up the LV? Could this be a CentOS specific patch to anaconda or is that unlikely?
Thanks for any input, Leonard.

Hi,
I have 7 vm's installed on LVM volumes (5xCentos 6.3, 1xubuntu and 1xfreebsd) All works fine. Server Centos 6.3 with KVM. All machines installed from iso images.
qemu-kvm.x86_64 2:0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.1 @updates
Machines installed using command:
virt-install -n test -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --os-variant=rhel6 --accelerate -v -c /home/iso/c63mini.iso --mac=RANDOM --bridge=br0 --vnc --vnclisten=w.x.y.z --disk path=/dev/maszyny/test
Regards Arek

I'm not using vnc but a serial tty (--nographics -x "console=ttyS0"). An all black and white install :) . Probably an issue with an unusual code path. The question is whether that unusual code path is in anaconda or an outdated virt-install.
Regards, Leonard.
