virt-install with Ubuntu server 18 fails with “ERROR Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.”
0
Hello there (Greenhorn here),
I have a server with Ubuntu 18.04.1 server running on the bare metal. I am attempting to get a VM spun up using virt-install. This works with 14.04 and 16.04, but I get a complete failure attempting to use 18.04 or 18.10. My install is fully updated. I am trying to run some Alpha version software, thus the need for a VM, and it happens to require version 18 (so I am told).

ziggidy@zeus:~/ISOs$
Here is the syntax I use to spin up the VMs. I have 2 VMs running 14.04 with zero issues for a couple months,so those are good. I am not sure what the error is, but I have run wget to get the version 18 ISOs a few times direct from Ubuntu, not sure if it is the ISO that is the issue or not.
Issue with 18.04
