Hi, I'm not able to get a text console install of any distribution (CentOS-5.2 for example). I'm using the following command: virt-install -n myname -f myimage.img -s 10 -c /iso/CentOS-5.2-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso --accelerate -r 1024 --hvm --nographics The vnc version of this command works flawlessly, but I'd like this host to be a headless one. The installation seems to start as I can see the instance with state "running" with the following command: virsh -c qemu:///system list But all I see is the following messages: ======================== Starting install... Creating domain... Connecting to uri: qemu:///system ======================== After a while there's one strange character showing up in the console.
Pressing Ctrl-Alt Gr-] I can exit the screen and there's a message: ======================== Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to the console to complete the installation process. ======================== BTW, I got the following line in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf vnc_listen="192.168.2.3" But also tried without that line. How can I get the text console to show up? I'm using debian 4.0 r6. Thanks Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
