Hi
I'm trying to install Fedora 12 guest on a Fedora 12 host using KVM via virt-install.I want to access the guest from other hosts, so I need a network bridge. When I try to install the guest it shows a message:
Quote:

Waiting for NetworkManager to configure eth0.
|
After a while it shows an error message:
Quote:

There was an error configuring your network interface.
|
After selecting the retry button of it, another message is appeared saying that it cannot find the kickstart file, selecting the cancel button I am able to specify network configuration manually. When I set this settings manually NetworkManager is able to configure the network interface. I don't know what goes wrong when I try to install the guest using kickstart file. The file is accessible by the address specified.
Here is the configuration files and commands that I used:
network interfaces:

I used the following commands and commented out the last three lines of sysctl.conf:
Quote:
iptables -I FORWARD -m physdev --physdev-is-bridged -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
service iptables restart

The virt-install command that is used:

virt-install --name myfed12 --ram 512 --disk path=/home/images/fed12.img,size=8 --network bridge=MPM_br0 --os-type=linux --os-variant=fedora12 -l http://192.168.1.1/fedora -x ks=http://192.168.1.1/ks.cfg

The host os is also a virtual host (vmware guest).
