[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#577766: virtinst: virt-install fails installing freebsd8

[Erik de Castro Lopo]

Package: virtinst
Version: 0.500.3-1
Severity: normal


Have set up a bridge interface br0, kvm_intel and kvm modules are loaded,
libvirtd is running, but when I do this:

    virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name=fbsd8x32 --ram=1024 \
      --vcpus=1 --file=img/freebsd8-i386/img.qcow2 --file-size=12 \
      --cdrom=iso/8.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso --os-type unix \
      --os-variant freebsd7 --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm

which results in:



Starting install...
ERROR    internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to dev/pts/6

Domain installation does not appear to have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start fbsd8x32'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.
