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?

qemu-kvm-core features moved to separate packages in CentOS 9 Stream
by Miroslav Rezanina 24 Jan '22

24 Jan '22

Hi all, There's currently MR [1] on review with changes making the packing layout more close to fedora. This change unfortunately causes users using qemu-kvm-core package (not qemu-kvm) to lose some functionality as some submodules will be moved to separate packages so anyone using these features has to install such package in addition to qemu-kvm-core package. This change won't affect qemu-kvm usage as this package will keep these packages as dependency. These changes are going to be submitted soon so anyone using CentOS 9 Streams qemu-kvm-core package should check whether the functionality is still provided by core package after the change or additional subpackage is needed.

Script for making a KVM VM from a kickstart
by Chris Adams 16 Jan '22

16 Jan '22

I have been building up a script to quickly and easily make CentOS/RHEL and Fedora VMs from kickstart files for a long time, and thought I'd see if anyone else was interested. It's especially useful IMHO if you are working on building kickstarts, because you can fairly rapidly iterate and test. I've got it built as an RPM, so if others think this is useful, I might submit it to Fedora and EPEL. Let me know what you think! https://github.com/cmadamsgit/ks-install -- Chris Adams <linux(a)cmadams.net>
