Just curious as to what hardware you're
running it on. And when you say you've installed the necessary rpms, does this
mean you installed KVM by hand after the install, or through the installer when
you first installed it?

Subject: KVM: 'ÿ' character after starting a VM via
virt-install
I'm unable to start a virtual
machine with KVM.
I'm using Centos 5.4
I have installed all necessary rpms (to my knowledge), but as you can see from
the output (below), the system does not boot the CD-ROM. It just sits there
doing nothing:
# virt-install --prompt
Would you like to use KVM acceleration? (yes or no) yes
What is the name of your virtual machine? test
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 1024
What would you like to use as the disk (file path)? /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img
How large would you like the disk (/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.img) to be (in gigabytes)? 20
What is the install CD-ROM/ISO or URL? /root/CentOS-5.4-i386-bin-1of6.iso
Starting install...
Creating storage file... | 20 GB 00:00
Creating domain... | 0 B 00:00
Connected to domain test
Escape character is ^]
ÿ
the 'ÿ' character appears after a few seconds, then nothing... ![]()
Any help is appreciated!
