You have to change the --vnc param for the --nographics param, remove the --noautoconsole param and add extra params to the installer kernel with -x "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text console=ttyS0". This is the whole command: virt-install --name=vmguest \ --ram 512 \ --os-type linux --os-variant debianlenny \ --virt-type kvm \ --disk path=/opt/vmguest-root.disk,bus=virtio,size=20 \ -w network=default,model=virtio \ --keymap es \ --location http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64 -x "DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text console=ttyS0" After some days searching for a way to install Debian Lenny into the virtual machine with the console interface, I have it.
