Just tried the install over http as follows, and the install failed the same way. [root@emma ~]# virt-install --name sebastian-new --ram 2048 --vcpus 2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/sebastian-new.qcow2,size=8 --location https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ --os-type linux --os-variant rhel9.0 --extra-args='console=ttyS0' --nographics --cpu host |

Thank you for the report. 1) When you're specifying a location to a local path, it does not translate into the VM. Paths to a local directory will NOT be accessible by the guest after an initial boot (see man virt-install). This basically means you need an additional way to access the install media. You can generally add inst.repo=... that points to a remote path to help with this in the --extra-args section. 2) When you're performing a network install, you will need to specify inst.repo=... in your extra args. Note that this will force `ip=dhcp` to be flagged. The message is clear about inst.repo and inst.stage2. If at least inst.repo is not available, you will not be able to proceed to the installer. As this is note a bug, closing as won't fix. |
