Centos 6.6 KVM host will not run Jessie VM

[theNADS]

Homies,

I have not been on this forum in a while as centos has ran without issue for some time now. However, I am suffering with my first problem for a few years.

My Centos 6.6 KVM host will not allow me to install debain jessie.

I used the following install commands:

Code: Select all

virt-install \
        --name=vm4 \
        --ram=2048 \
        --vcpus=2 \
        --os-type=linux \
        --os-variant=debianwheezy \
        --disk path=/dev/logvol_guests/volume_4,device=disk,bus=virtio,sparse=true,format=raw \
        -w bridge=br0,model=virtio \
        --nographics \
        -x console=ttyS0,115200n8 \
        --location http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-amd64/

The install goes through fine. When the vm reboots it displays the grub menu fine, then it hangs at the following point:

Code: Select all

Loading Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...

The log for the vm shows the following:

I have tried to ssh directly into the server and the connection seems to get rejected.

This is the first time I have tried the get a Jessie vm onto a centos6 host and I am wondering if the two os's are not compatible since jessie now uses systemd?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
