Not sure. Never really played with qemu before.

virt-manager requires some x libraries, but it doesn't require GUI to
be running on the server. You can easily use X forwarding over ssh.

You could also use virt-install directly to start text-based
installation with a command similar to this

virt-install -p --nographics --name=centos -r 1024 --disk
path=/z/test/centos.img,size=5 --network bridge=br129
--location=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5/os/x86_64/

start by using file-based images first (virt-install will
automatically create the file when using a command line similar to the
above) to eliminate any possible LVM-related errors. You'd need to
adjust path and bridge to your system.

When trying new method or facing new problems, you should create a new thread.
