Image not booting in kvm #27
Description
I tried to build a KVM qemu image, but it's not booting. Most probably, I did something wrong, but I'm unable to find it.
My environment:
[root@lab2 ~]# virsh --version
4.5.0
[root@lab2 ~]# qemu-img --version | head -1
qemu-img version 1.5.3, Copyright (c) 2004-2008 Fabrice Bellard
[root@lab2 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)
I use a GitHub workflow to build it, more or less the same as yours:
https://github.com/tuxpeople/libvirt-alpine-playground/blob/master/.github/workflows/release.yml
I already tried it with your example files, but I'm also unable to boot it with them. But for the record, this are mine:
- https://github.com/tuxpeople/libvirt-alpine-playground/blob/master/packages
- https://github.com/tuxpeople/libvirt-alpine-playground/blob/master/repositories
- https://github.com/tuxpeople/libvirt-alpine-playground/blob/master/configure.sh
I use this script to deploy it: https://github.com/tuxpeople/libvirt-alpine-playground/blob/master/labdeploy.sh
Basically, what I do is this:
- download the image
- make a copy for the vm
- create the vm
wget ${IMG} -O /data/virt/images/alpine-playground.qcow2
qemu-img create -q -f qcow2 -F qcow2 -b /data/virt/images/alpine-playground.qcow2 $DISK
qemu-img resize $DISK $DISK_SIZE
virsh \
pool-create-as \
--name=${VMNAME} \
--type=dir \
--target=${VMDIR}/${VMNAME} \
virt-install \
--import \
--name=${VMNAME} \
--memory=2048 \
--vcpus=1 \
--cpu=host \
--disk=${VMNAME}.qcow2,bus=virtio \
--network=bridge=bridge99,model=virtio \
--os-variant=auto \
--noautoconsole \
--graphics=spice,port=-1,listen=localhost
When I connect to the console, nothing displays. Also no errors anywhere... Do you have an idea?
