KVM OS install troubles

Hello,

I have been trying to figure out how to get a VM running with Hass OS in KVM. I have a fedora machine with KVM installed. I have tried a very large number of possible setting combinations. I have been using the GUI for most of the attempts. But using virt-install has not worked for me either.

I have tried any combination of UEFI I could. Since from what I have read in other posts, that seems to be a leading cause of issues. I have tried both compressed and decompressed versions of the qcow2.

everytime i get this screen. No idea how to fix it.

Any help is appreciated. thank you

Did you follow the official instructions? It tells you how to configure KVM and UEFI. I used virt-manager with success.

Try my guide. It might work for you. Debian based, but you could try to adjust where needed for Fedora.

Thank you both for the replies. I did attempt to use the home assistant doc on my first attempt and when that didnt work, I did some digging, couldnt figure it out and ended up here.

It looks like I may have been using the wrong Generic for the OS type. On my version of KVM there is “Generic OS”, “Generic Linux 2020” and “Generic Linux 2022” options. I was interpruting the doc as to use the Generic OS option. To get it working I used the Generic Linux 2020 option as specified in @os.habitats.tech guide.

The chipset may have also been a factor, there were 2 options. That is not specified in the home assistant doc which option to use. But again os.habitats.tech’s guide specified using Q35.

So i guess i found the right configuration using both guides. So again thank you both for the assistance
