Doesn't seem to be much information on doing url based installs for hvm's
and using kickstarts with that. The install obviously starts (aka, it starts
me at the first page of the CentOS install), but its like its not
recognizing that there is even a kickstart attempt. Id really appreciate
some help here. Pretty please? =P

Subject: [Xen-users] virt-install HVM with url and kickstart?

I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on
PVM's and now I want to use it for HVM's as well. The problem is that when I
attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts
prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get
things started:

virt-install --hvm
--location=http://mirrors.liquidweb.com/CentOS/5.2/os/x86_64 --noautoconsole
--file=/dev/XenVol/XenVE2 --name=testvm2 --ram=512 --network bridge:xenbr1
--vnc -x "ks=http://blah.com/client_work/kickstart.txt ip=67.xx.xx.xx
netmask=255.255.xxx.0 dns=208.67.222.222 gateway=67.xxx.xxx.x"

Note: I did modify the kickstart to use "hda" for partitioning versus
"xvda".

Thanks,
Mark
