I guess I need the list again. I try to install my first KVM guest. Here is what I do, and finally, what I stumble on. First I created a qcow2 img: # qemu-img create -f qcow2 /var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img 15G And I created a network bridge (not essential here) To get a text-based install, I followed this how-to: http://sysadminman.net/blog/2011/kvm-virtualization-text-centos-guest-install-2098 My install command was: virt-install \ --name test1 \ --os-variant=rhel5.4 \ --ram 512 \ --vcpus=1 \ --accelerate \ --nographics \ -v \ --location=/mnt/centos56/ \ --network bridge:br0 \ --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img,size=15 \ --extra-args="console=ttyS0"; I tried this also without the "size" argument for "disk" Now, the install begins ok. I do a http install from a nearby mirror. BUT when it is time to do partitions, I get > Which drive(s) do you want to use for this installation? | > | [*] vda 0 MB (Unknown) ^ | > | And if I now try to create partitions, I get "no space" error. What is going on??
