Hi All,

I can get the 64 bit live cd to boot in KVM (host = SL 6.2 x64)

       Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso

But, when I switch my CDROM drive to

       Fedora-16-i686-Live-XFCE.iso

Fedora goes through the motions of trying to boot,
then dies at

      Starting SYSV: Late init script for live image....
      Started SYSV: Late init script for live image..
      Start SYSV: Late init script for live image

I tried re-downloading the ISO, no joy.  If I burn
to a CD and directly boot to it (no virtual machine),
the CD does work.

Any idea how to fix this?

Many thanks,

How did you set up the vm?

Same as I did my x86_64, line for line, except architecture was i686
and I added a USB device.

while i tested on f16 host using kvm and x86_64 as the arch it is
booting just fine.

So did mine (x86_64).  Sorry I did not make that more clear.
I am having problems with the i686 spin.

i get a desktop working in about 15-20 seconds. i
believe if you set the arch to 1686 or 1386 you actually dont get kvm
used and just plain qemu which is much much slower

Is there a way to boot off the Xfce spin, go in to text mode (init 3)
and do the install from there?

Many thanks,
