I’ve been trying to get a KVM VM running under a CentOS 6.5 hypervisor, but after the gPXE to iPXE, it crashes the VM and I have to completely delete it to turn it off.
[code]virt-install --name=abc-kvm-1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2 --network=bridge:br2,mac=52:54:00:92:85:b3,model=virtio --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/abc-kvm-1.qcow2,size=50 --boot=network --pxe -d -v

I’ve tried changing network model types, even rebuild iPXE to replace gPXE, and rebuilding undionly.kpxe a bunch of times.
The odd thing is that I can use virt-manager with a gnome desktop or use standard qemu-kvm (without virt-install) to get a VM running. It’s just that when I use virt-install, it just fails on me.
