Hello community,
Seems there are a couple of people who are not able to create empty systems or are having issues with creation using a CD. I remember when I started using Cloudmin a couple of months or so ago, that I was able to boot from a CD and install a new empty system, but now I can’t.
I am not sure what has changed, but now I am not able to boot from these iso images that have been created into “CD” images via Cloudmin. If I select a boot method, the KVM instance will reboot, and doesn’t seem to see the disk. I used these directions to create the CD image to boot from on the host server:
http://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/cloudmin/virtualization/empty
Now, I want to use the new iso that is available as an installation image – when I goto “Create New System” > Empty System, I can select this new ISO image to install from and hit Save. Once I complete this, and when the virtual machine boots, it only boots to the empty hard disk file that doesn’t yet have an OS yet, since I am trying to boot from CD.
Is there something we are doing wrong, has the process for creating and using new ISO images to install from changed in the most recent virtualmin/webmin/cloudmin updates?
I contacted another user on this list, and they claim they are NOT able to create new empty KVM systems either on Centos6, but it’s seems that it works on Centos5.
I understand that Centos6 isn’t “officially supported” from the kvm-install-script docs, but now that Centos is at release 6.4, isn’t it about time now?
Cloudmin info:
Operating system CentOS Linux 6.4
Webmin version 1.620
Cloudmin version 6.9.kvm
Please let us know if we are all doing something wrong, or if this feature is broken in Centos 6 and we should stop wasting our time(since centos6 isn’t officially supported) - most folks building new systems today, are not using Centos5, as Centos6 is mature in it’s current release.
Thanks - I would appreciate any feedback.
