Installing kvm /intrepid with hw support i386

[mss]

Hello

I am a newbie to kvm and have followed your post to install kvm (at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualization-with-kvm-on-ubuntu-8.10 ) and built a vm. It was very useful. I am doing it over ubuntu 8.10 desktop.

Now that I am past that stage, I wanted to actually use the vm.

When I do
$ putty vm1
I am getting an error "No route to host"

And when I use virt-viewer
$ sudo virt-viewer -c qemu+ssh:///system
I get the error "unable to find vnc graphics for vm1"

What could be the problem?

Apreciate any help

Are you running those commands on the KVM host or on a remote system?

Can you run
sudo virsh --connect qemu:///system and then list --all to see if the vm is running?

I am able to see the vm in virsh listing.

Also when I launch it with
$ kvm -hda disk01.img -m 512 -boot d -cdrom /home/ubiquity/hardy-i386.iso
I can boot into the rescue mode. And I see the ifconfig return an IP address in 10.2.x.x range
(My host IP is 172.25.65.xx)
But when I try to boot in the normal mode it fails to connect to archive.ubuntu.com
and fails to load a bunch of packges:
x11-common libxau6 libxdmcp6 libxcb1 libxcb-xlib0 libx11-data libx11-6 libext6 libxmuu1 xauth libedit2 openssh-client libwrap0 openssh-server tcpd


Host ifconfig (if it helps is)

Additionally

virsh # net-list --all
Name State Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default active yes

Should I be able to see the bridged network interface here also?


Thanks

Can you start the vm from the virsh shell (instead of using kvm)?
