hmm # virt-install --location http://download.suse.de/install/SLP/SLE-12-Server-GM/ppc64le/DVD1/ --name sles12-install --memory 1024 --disk size=10 --graphics vnc Starting install... ERROR Couldn't find hvm kernel for SUSE tree. I am not sure if issue is in virt-manager (opensuse/sles) or poverkvm (ibm) virt-manager is not supported with PowerKVM distro. Use Kimchi instead See comment#2, is virt-install provided with powerkvm also not supposed to work? You can run virt-install on the host. I haven't tried location though.

Unfortunately it does not help: [root@ps64vt1060 ~]# virt-install --location http://download.suse.de/install/SLP/SLE-12-Server-GM/ppc64le/DVD1/ --name sles12-install --memory 1024 --disk size=10 --graphics vnc --os-variant sles12 ERROR Distro 'sles12' does not exist in our dictionary So only viable installation now is to use bundled kimchi. Factory is now updated with a virt-manager containing a patch that addresses this problem. |
