Can't install Win7 in KVM

[John W. Himpel]

I am unable to get Win 7 to install using virt-install under the most
recent rawhide (9/29/2010).  I filed the details in bugzilla #6369999.
Included is the "debug" output from virt-install.

It appears to create the image file, Win 7 asks me about keyboard and
language.  It then asks upgrade or install, I chose install.  It then
asks me to pick the virtual partition to use as the install target. I
select the one I want.  Win 7 then "thinks" for about a minute and the
install dies.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

PS: I have made the patch shown in bz#628721.

Thanks

looks like you're using 'raw' type for the disk image.

try using 'qcow2'.  this allowed me to get pass what
appears to have been the same thing i had hit.  but
then i ran into the problem of win 7 guest not booting
off the disk.
