I'm trying to kickstart a KVM guest. Historically, I could just start the guest connected to my bridged network interface, and my PXE server would hand out a DHCP address and then the tftp server would hand over the initrd.img and vmlinuz files. After upgrading from F35 to F36, I am not seeing any traffic from the guest at the PXE server. Has something changed between F35 and F36? This used to work without any hassle.

I choose to create a new guest. I choose "Manual Install." I choose Fedora 35 as the OS. I set the memory and vCPUs. I choose my disk size. I choose to connect to the bridged network (device name is bridge0, which matches the bridge name on my workstation). I choose "Customize configuration before install" and then Finish. At the customization screen, I go to "Boot options" and check the box next to the NIC. I choose Apply. I choose "Begin installation." The screen comes up, and I see the guest trying to PXE boot, but I never see any DHCP or tftp requests on the PXE server. I know the PXE server works, because I can kickstart guests on a virtualization hypervisor off the PXE server no problem.

To set up my workstation, I connected to Cockpit and drilled down to Networking. I chose to create a new bridged device and associated it with my physical NIC.

I've done this in previous versions of Fedora and not had any problems with it.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
Thomas


Just in case anyone else runs into this. I wound up going into Cockpit and deleting the bridge interface. I rebooted and then added a new bridge. Now I can kickstart my KVM guests.

No idea why that worked. <shrug>
