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

So this should be on a TurnkeyLinux list?

Use the virtual terminals? Boot without graphics? Use the grub command line to set console to a serial port and connect to that?

Runs fine on my centos 5.4 kvm, although I used the virt-manager gui to install it.
Interesting little distro - thanks for bringing it to my attention...

Are you using bridged networking? I think it has something to do with that as well as not having a DHCP server in my network.

I am glad you found it useful. I think it is a great project which adds tremendous value.

Actually, yes. I use a bridge to connect to the lan, where guests obtain addresses thru DHCP, but I have no issues assigning addresses by hand either.
That host machine has at least two nics. One for the host, and one shared/bridged for the guests.
If there's any config files you're interested in seeing, I could post them.
