Hi, I recently upgraded from F16 to F17 and during post install I usually setup a virtual test box to play around with. The following command worked with F16: #/usr/bin/virt-install --vnc --noautoconsole --name=vserver.example.com --ram=768 --arch=i386 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --hvm --accelerate --disk=/dev/vgsystem/vserver.example.com -m 52:54:00:42:2C:C4 -w bridge=virbr0 --location=ftp://192.168.122.1/pub/fedora/linux/releases/16/Fedora/i386/os/ --extra-args='ks=ftp://192.168.122.1/pub/kickstart/vserver.cfg ip=192.168.122.100 netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.122.1 dns=208.67.222.222 noipv6 s=100' With F17 and the dracut based initial ramdisk, this command fails. I receive the following error message and a kernel panic before anaconda even starts: FATAL: Please supply bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines I also tried the 'ip=<ip>::<gw>:<nm>[:<dev>]' method to configure the network interface the dracut way: # /usr/bin/virt-install --vnc --noautoconsole --name=vserver.example.com --ram=1024 --arch=i386 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --hvm --accelerate --disk=/dev/vgsystem/vserver.example.com -m 52:54:00:42:89:08 -w bridge=virbr0 --location=ftp://192.168.122.1/pub/fedora/linux/releases/17/Fedora/i386/os '--extra-args=ks=ftp://192.168.122.1/pub/kickstart/vserver.cfg ip=192.168.122.100::192.168.122.1:255.255.255.0 nameserver=208.67.222.222 noipv6 s=100' With this command the virtual machine boots and drops to a dracut debug shell. However no network interface gets configured and I receive the following messages: dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue dracut Warning: /dev/root does not exist Could someone please enlighten me, how I may automatically kickstart my test box with Fedora 17? Thanks! Best regards, Reiner
