Hi,

I have run the below command to install Kali Linux using linux-2020.4-installer-amd64.iso from https://www.kali.org/downloads/

#virt-install --name kalilinux --memory 4096 --vcpus=2 --location=/linuxkvmaddgbdisk/kali-linux-2020.4-installer-amd64.iso,kernel=install.amd/gtk/vmlinuz,initrd=install.amd/gtk/initrd.gz --network=bridge:br0 --os-type=linux --os-variant=debian9 --graphics=none --extra-args "console=ttyS0" -v --disk path=/linuxkvmaddgbdisk/kalilinux.img,size=50

I am not able to get the root login prompt when I run the below command to set IP and hostname for the guest OS. Am I missing any parameters from the above virt-install command to install Kali Linux as Guest OS in KVM Hypervisor?

#virsh console kalilinux
Connected to domain kalilinux
Escape character is ^]

Any help will be highly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in Advance.

Best Regards,

Kaushal
