I am trying to compare the outcome of standard F38 ISO with Server38-netboot ISO (choosing Workstation) .
With Silverblue 38 as host, using virt-manager to do GUI based installation.
With netboot ISO, Anaconda installation stuck at “Configuring alsa-sof-firmware.noarch”
As it is a KVM guest, I can let it run and waiting for your input on how to troubleshoot this issue.
Plesea give me hints / pointers on what should be collected, how to finish the installation, etc.
I do have in virt-manager under Sound (Speaker Icon) three options to set. Just check if you can switch to an other one.
Here a list of what hardware they emulate:
Check for hardware virtualization support:
sudo virt-host-validate
Also make sure the VM has at least 2 GB of RAM.
I always use either 4GB or 8GB RAM and at least 2 CPUs for each VM. Is yours adequately provisioned?
I am using virt-manager defaut for Fedora - 2vCpu + 2GB ram + 20GB disk
$ sudo virt-host-validate

I am using virt-manager default “HDA(ICH9)”
For comparison, Everything-netinst and Workstation both installed OK. Only Server-netboot stuck at that task.
What ISO are you referring to with “standard F38 ISO”? Would that be the Everything netinstall ISO?
That would hint at more differences under the hood between Everything and Server netinst ISO.
Elsewhere I proposed to merge these to, since they appear to achieve the same thing provided one selects the proper partitioning scheme:
But if this turns out to be a Server media issue, it would need to be addressed as well.
Can you get to the logs in /tmp ?
I believe you can access a terminal with Ctrl + Alt + F (1 - 6) during the install.
