[Bug 1589690] Re: virt-Install reports Could not find an installable distribution at '/images/ubuntu-16.04-server-ppc64el.iso'

>From Canonical internal support team:
After a bit of investigating (including my own trial and error) I believe this is working as intended. I think the key take away here is we need to define the purpose of the '--location' option.

"Distribution tree installation source" <--


You'll notice in the debug information that after mounting the iso it's trying to reach a MANIFEST, which it's not going to find in the directory structure of the .iso... but it will find via a proper distribution tree.

Now, with that information handy I was able to get your configuration to work two different ways.


1. By dropping the kernel arguments and options, and changing '--location' to '--cdrom' You don't have access to pass arguments to the the kernel/initrd via the install ISO. (AFAIK)

2. You could keep your configuration as is, and change --location to
http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/installer-amd64/
