I've recently upgraded a machine to F9 (fresh install) and I'm hitting a strange virt-install/koan issue. The machine is i386 and HVM is enabled in the BIOS. Running "virt-install" with no arguments yields: "Unsupported virtualization type". Running with the "--hvm" flag works as expected. In the past virt-install had always done the right thing whenever KVM was the only option.
I must have been confused about the virt-install functionality. After a quick look at the code it looks like it simply defaults to 'xen' for the os_type whenever you don't specify '--hvm' on the command line, hence the "Unsupported virtualization type" error. Now to debug the error from koan since all the virt-install stuff was really just yak shaving.
The only reason I suspect my koan problem is related is simply because of the error message, and that koan uses virt-install. The Virt host is running F9 with KVM. Here is the output from koan: koan -s [my cobbler server] --virt --virt-type=qemu --virt-path=/images --profile Fedora9-i386 --virt-name=bleanhar1-koan --virt-bridge=br0 - reading URL: http://10.11.227.63/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/Fedora9-i386 install_tree: http://10.11.227.63/cblr/links/Fedora9-i386 libvirtd (pid 2897) is running... - using qemu hypervisor, type=kvm - adding disk: /images/bleanhar1-koan-disk0 of size 5 libvir: QEMU error : Domain not found libvir: QEMU error : Domain not found libvir: QEMU error : internal error unsupported architecture ...<snip> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 866, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 841, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) Any thoughts on what could cause the "Unsupported virtualization type" and the "unsupported architecture" errors? I've already triple checked that the guest being installed is i386 and that "virt-install --hvm" actually works. --Brenton
