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.
Any ideas how to debug this?
Thanks,
Neil

I was looking to see if XSA-384 was in testing for CentOS Virt and so far
it doesn't look like it is yet. From the patch, it looks like it touches
x86 code. Can anyone push a build with this version?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm planning to set a up a kvm/qemu VM with pfsense. I have a quad-port
Intel PRO/1000 PT networking card to put into my server which I want to
use as card dedicted to this VM.
I was planning to use PCI passthrough to hand over the network card (or
all ports on the card) to the VM. However, according to
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#network-interfaces using a bridge
(bridges in this case) is the "recommended config for general guest
connectivity on hosts with static wired networking configs".
Pfsense running in the VM will have a static ipv4 address and a dynamic
ipv6 subnet via a pppoe connection to the ISP. Addresses on the other
networks the VM will be connected to are static, except for the ipv6
addresses Pfsense will get via prefix-delegation and distribute to local
clients.
The libvirt documentation shows a multitude of options to give network
access to VMs.
What would be the best option for this purpose?
