Apparently with using virt-install, it no longer passes in the kickstart

koan -v --virt-type=qemu --qemu-disk-type=virtio --qemu-net-type=virtio
--virt-bridge=br0 --system=vmsl6rolling
generated:

and so no kickstart. Is this a known issue? It should pass:

Can you try --virt-type=kvm? That's a new type introduced recently so
that it will use kernel accelerated qemu. Another user ran into this
and changing the type to kvm fixed it (and made his vm's run faster
too).
There is a definite bug in koan for qemu types right now that appears
to have slipped in with this patch.
Okay, with --virt-type=kvm the --extra-args are passed. Didn't change much
with the libvirt definitions (both were using kvm) except for:
<disk type='block' device='disk'>
- <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
+ <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/>
But it looks like that should be a win.
