ubuntu下kvm 命令行安装64位ubuntu报"Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree."的问题分析
(编辑：jimmy 日期: 2024/11/16 浏览：3 次 )
1.安装ubuntu时使用的virt-install的配置：
virt-install --name test4 --ram 1024 --disk path=/data/01_ubuntu/ubuntu4.img,size=6 --vcpus 1 --hvm --os-type linux --network network=default --os-variant ubuntuquantal --graphics none --console pty,target_type=serial --location /data/00_osfile/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64.iso --extra-args 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 serial'
报错如下：
ERROR Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
通过查资料发现，virt-install可以开debug模式的，加入--debug选项即可
2.virt-install的debug模式得到的结果：
[Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:16:07 virt-install 26900] DEBUG (urlfetcher:268) local hasFile: Couldn't find /var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinstmnt.xPL9y1/current/images/MANIFEST [Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:16:07 virt-install 26900] DEBUG (urlfetcher:89) Fetching URI: /var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinstmnt.xPL9y1/install/netboot/version.info Retrieving file version.info... | 58 B 00:00:00 [Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:16:07 virt-install 26900] DEBUG (urlfetcher:1164) Didn't find any known codename in the URL string [Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:16:07 virt-install 26900] DEBUG (urlfetcher:511) Detected distro name=Ubuntu osvariant=linux [Wed, 30 Nov 2016 11:16:07 virt-install 26900] DEBUG (urlfetcher:268) local hasFile: Couldn't find /var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinstmnt.xPL9y1/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
这里就可以看出问题了，明明是64位的操作系统，为什么去找./install/netboot/ubuntu-install/i386/linux的路径
我们去看看iso文件中正确的路径是什么：
[root@11.102 01_ubuntu]$mount /data/00_osfile/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64.iso /mnt mount: /dev/loop2 is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@11.102 01_ubuntu]$ls /mnt/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux /mnt/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux
基本确定，如果将路径的i386改为amd64，virt-install安装就没有问题。
debug模式剩余的log：

3.修改virt-manager代码：
通过上面的报错，发现virt-manager使用python写的！正好想看什么源码来自，这个正好！
通过对virt-manager这一项目一步步debug，找到问题：
[root@11.102 ~]$grep -n -A22 "class DebianDistro" /usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/urlfetcher.py 1076:class DebianDistro(Distro): 1077- # ex. http://ftp.egr.msu.edu/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/ 1078- # daily builds: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/ 1079- name = "Debian" 1080- urldistro = "debian" 1081- os_variant = "linux" 1082- 1083- def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): 1084- Distro.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs) 1085- 1086- # Pull the tree's arch out of the URL text 1087- self._treeArch = 'i386' 1088- for pattern in ["^.*/installer-(\w+)/", 1089- "^.*/daily-images/(\w+)/"]: 1090- arch = re.findall(pattern, self.uri) 1091- if arch: 1092- self._treeArch = arch[0] 1093- break 1094- 1095- self._url_prefix = 'current/images' 1096- self._installer_dirname = self.name.lower() + "-installer" 1097- self._set_media_paths()
发现基于Debian的系统，__init__方法中self._treeArch初始化时是i386，估计是virt-manager读取ubuntu的iso文件时，出了什么问题，没读出该系统是x86_64类型，将该值改为amd64,就可以了。
再次运行virt-install，成功进入ubuntu安装界面！
附：CentOS命令行使用KVM安装64位ubuntu报"Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree."的解决办法
grep -n -A21 'class DebianDistro' /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/OSDistro.py 命令可以查看DebianDistro类的__init__方法
[root@2 virtinst]$grep -n -A21 'class DebianDistro' /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/virtinst/OSDistro.py
892:class DebianDistro(Distro):
893- # ex. http://ftp.egr.msu.edu/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/
894- # daily builds: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/
895-
896- name = "Debian"
897- os_type = "linux"
898-
899- def __init__(self, uri, arch, vmtype=None, scratchdir=None):
900- Distro.__init__(self, uri, arch, vmtype, scratchdir)
901- if uri.count("installer-i386"):
902- self._treeArch = "i386"
903- elif uri.count("installer-amd64"):
904- self._treeArch = "amd64"
905- else:
906- self._treeArch = "i386"
907-
908- if re.match(r'i[4-9]86', arch):
909- self.arch = 'i386'
910-
911- self._installer_name = self.name.lower() + "-" + "installer"
912- self._prefix = 'current/images'
913- self._set_media_paths()
改变__init__方法里的else：条件下面的一行，将"i386"改为"amd64"即可
- self._treeArch = 'i386' + self._treeArch = 'amd64'
