CentOS Stream 9 Virt-install Via Loop-mounted ISO Fails
Hi,
I’ve loop-mounted the latest CentOS Stream 9 DVD ISO and try to do a virt-install (2.0.x for some reason) as non-root user (libvirt group member) using –location with the mount path, but then I
come across the problem decribed here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id 22630
That is, I see on the console “Starting dracut initqueue hook…”, then it stalls for a while, and then I get all the timeouts described in the bug report.
Any suggestions for a workaround (with virt-install 2.0.x and as non-root user)?
Background:
Dor some reason I need to use virt-install 2.0.x as non-root to install CentOS Stream 9. The “normal” way, specifying a URL
with –location, does not work because it fails with permission denied for losetup. It looks like virt-install 3.2.x does not have this problem anymore.
Thanks,

Does the same happen when using the ISO file directly as location
argument?
Then I get immediately after the “dracut initqueue hook” message the losetup error because I’m not root.
