Hi all:

The iso provided by Mike, booted up ok, TUI loads, but installation fails
("oVirt Node Hypervisor Installation Failed"). Error logs are displayed
(/var/log/ovirt.log, /tmp/ovirt.log and /var/log/messages) but I don't
know how export this logs out from installation for debugging. I tried
passing the root password as kernel parameter in order to login in the
live system and obtain the logs, but the system asks for a new root
password, I change the pass but this didn't  work.

These are the most significatives log lines (manually copied):

cp: cannot stat '/boot/efi/* ': no such file or directory
unmount: /liveos/grub/efi: not found

ERROR GRUB setup failed
ERROR Grub2 installation Failed

Thanks

Federico
