[virt-tools-list] Guest doesn't reboot after installation with virt-install

[Brad Ison]

Hello,

I'm installing Ubuntu 10.04 on a KVM host with the following:

virt-install \
    --connect qemu:///system \
    -n "${NAME}" \
    --vcpus=4 -r 4096 \
    --disk "path=/dev/vmdisk/${NAME}" \
    --vnc --vnclisten 0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole \
    --os-type linux --os-variant ubuntulucid \
    --network bridge=br0 \
    --location=/path/to/installer-amd64/ \
    --extra-args="netcfg/get_ipaddress=${IP}
netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.255.0 netcfg/get_gateway=${GW}
netcfg/confirm_static=true netcfg/get_hostname=${NAME}"


The installer reboots after finishing the installation, but the guest
just powers off instead. After powering the guest on, reboots work
normally.

Is that expected? Is there a way to allow the guest to reboot into the
newly installed system automatically after installation?

Sorry if I've missing something in the docs.


Thanks
