HI, This is how the install fails, and I've checked the path to the install; Hawaiian:/etc/libvirt/qemu# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n nagios -r 512 --vcpus=2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/nagios.img,size=6.5 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant debiansqueeze --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm Starting install... Allocating 'nagios.img' | 6.5 GB 00:00 Creating domain... | 0 B 00:00 Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start nagios'; otherwise, please I'm using libvirt-bin version 0.8.3-5+squeeze2 and qemu-kvm 0.12.5+dfsg-5+squeeze8 The log didn't contain anything explicit about an error. If you can help with this I would be very grateful, James On 19/04/2012, Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 04/19/2012 04:28 PM, James Allsopp wrote: >> Hi, >> I'm trying to start using libvirt on my debian machine, but am having >> some issues.
