How to debug Ubuntu 8.04 LTS guest crash during install?
by Neil Aggarwal 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?

asking permissions to contribute to Virt SIG doc

Hi Sandro, When updating qemu-kvm (rebased from new c10s upstream commits) to latest for ppc64le through Virt SIG, I realised that , while announced to centos-devel and also having pushed a centos-release-kvm-power packages in Extras-common repository, I never updated the Virt doc itself (available on https://docs.centos.org/centos-virtualization-sig/) May I just add a subsection about KVM power and so explain how to just add it on Stream 10 (and should be working on RHEL10 and other rebuilds too) ? -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]
