[libvirt-users] "virt-install" source location boot disk

[Jay Vyas]

Hi Giuseppe and thanks for the response............ Heres some more info:


Here is my kickstart... maybe the "--bootloader" argument is wrong in some
way?

# Put this in pastebin or some other public url
# Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda.

#version=DEVEL
install
cdrom
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --onboot yes --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6
timezone --utc America/New_York
rootpw  --iscrypted
$6$9bRPXTZZMy0FNl2A$lgY.MS3pZ.0PVg4o3AQeJOydPwGVphdKT07tHlJUmdoRTz4UQQ/L54ny0QHkdubMquqkr4jw37DxmM0FL5kRn1
selinux --enforcing
authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512
firewall --service=ssh


#Disable graphical stuff

# The following is the partition information you requested

clearpart --all
autopart
#ip=192.168.122.99
network --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.122.100
--netmask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.122.1
--nameserver=192.168.122.1
bootloader --location=mbr --timeout=5 --append="rhgb quiet"
....
%end


Some more details:  This is what my "df" output is
