How to debug Ubuntu 8.04 LTS guest crash during install?
by Neil Aggarwal 04 Nov '25

04 Nov '25

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?

XSA-384

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.

recommended network setup for kvm/qemu VM running pfsense?
by hw 15 Sep '21

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?
