Dear Matthew, Quick check your VM guest parameter if they have below; 1) is "--vcpu=x"? parameter set? 2) what are you getting from debug log?

Hello, I’m using virt-install to build a guest system with CentOS. The system boots up, times out with dracut-initqueue timeout and drops me into an emergency shell. If I exit the shell the install continues and I get a working machine. Any ideas? virt-install \ -n TEST \ -r 8192 \ --os-type=linux \ --disk=/vm-images/test.img,device=disk,bus=virtio,size=100,format=raw \ --ram=8192 \ --network bridge:br77 \ --location /home/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso \ --initrd-inject=/home/kickstart.cfg \ --extra-args="ks=file:/kickstart.cfg" \ --debug \ --accelerate kickstart.cfg: text install cdrom lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6 rootpw testing123 firewall --service=ssh authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512 selinux --disable timezone --utc America/New_York bootloader --location=mbr zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel autopart reboot %packages --nobase @core %end — Matthew Crocker President - Crocker Communications, Inc.
