Public bug reported:
---Problem Description---
virt-install fails on s390x with options --location and --extra-args
---uname output---
Linux s3560022 4.4.0-72-generic #93-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 31 14:06:48 UTC 2017
s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux
Machine Type = IBM z13
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
Run the following command:
sudo virt-install --name ubuntu --ram 1024 --disk
/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu.qcow2,bus=virtio --location
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/main/installer-s390x
--extra-args="preseed/url=http://192.168.122.1/tmp/preseed";
Expected result: A KVM virtual machine "ubuntu" is installed using a local
preseed file.
Observed result: Error message
sudo virt-install --name ubuntu --ram 1024 --disk
/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu.qcow2,bus=virtio --location
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/main/installer-s390x
Userspace tool common name: virt-install
The userspace tool has the following bit modes: 64
Userspace rpm: virt-manager
Userspace tool obtained from project website: na
The following upstream commit solves the location validation problem:
f248088 virtinst: adjust media paths for s390x
However, the extra-args are ignored. For this it is necessary to pick the
following commit
4c3e796 virt-install: concatenate all extra-args argument
Without these fixes it is not possible to perform a Ubuntu installation
of a KVM guest using virt-install.
Minor correction: the binary package (not rpm) is virtinst, built from
the virt-manager source package.
