Can I use virt-install for the new Ubuntu installer?

  • 772

What I have understood so far, it's possible to use PXE mode(?) with the Ubuntu installer.

Is it still possible to use virt-install?

In the documentation, they refer to an installation using -c switch which does not allow though headless walk-through configuration for the installer.

If using as previously with bionic the switch --location, the ISO seems to miss important components.

virt-install command (virt-install version 1.5.0):

virt-install --wait -1 --force --debug --noreboot --name ubuntu-20.04-00123456 \
             --noautoconsole --graphics vnc \
             --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/ubuntu-20.04-114046.qcow2,format=qcow2,size=10,bus=scsi \
             --controller type=scsi \
             --location $OS_ISO \
             --os-type=linux --os-variant ubuntu18.04 -r 2048 --vcpus=2 --network network=default \
             --features acpi=on,apic=on --initrd-inject config/20.04/preseed.cfg -x edd-off -x ipv6.disable=1

Error:

[virt-install 44526] ERROR (cli:318) Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.
