Not sure. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15460754/halt-and-poweroff Try sticking a 'shutdown' at the end of your kickstart? Whatever the issue is, it's unlikely a virt-install or libvirt issue, since they aren't in play if the VM tries to shut itself down. Watching the serial output was only a suggestion if you can't get the VM to shutdown on its own, typically that shouldn't be required. - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list virt-tools-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
