I am using this command to install a w8 guest on my Archlinux host: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=tintinVM --ram 4096 --cpu host-model-only --os-variant=win7 --disk /dev/vg0/tintin,size=120,bus=virtio,sparse=false,format=raw --name="tintinVM" --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --graphics spice --cdrom /dev/cdrom The virtual machine window open and show the blue windows logo. But then nothing happens and I can't start the install process. I hav eno idea why. The w8 iso file is clean. I test booting from it and I can start the install. What is wrong with my command? How can I try another way (like mounting the ISO on a dir). I dual boot arch and w8, so there is already a w8 installed on my ssd. Maybe can make an .img of the installed w8 then use this img ? Or directly use the partiton? I must add my machine boots in EUFI, not sure it has something to do. Then, I have issue when loading KVM kernel modules: permission denied. The user is in the KVM & qemu group, and /dev/kvm belongs to user:kvm. I need to # rmmod kvm_intel before I start $ virt-install ..... Last, I don't understand well if I need to use qemu///system or qemu///session ? My goal is to let users start a VM when in their arch session. Thank you for any suggesuions. -- google.com/+arnaudgabourygabx _______________________________________________ libvirt-users mailing list libvirt-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvirt-users
