This patch applies to both yakkety and zesty.

- * Users are unable to virt-install from xenial and newer isos.
+ * Users are unable to virt-install using xenial and newer isos.

[Regression Potential]
- * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a result
- of this change.
+ * Patch is accepted into upstream virt-install
- * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
- upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
- to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
- event of a regression.
-
- * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
- and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.
+ * I have run virt-install against both iso's and netinstall trees
+ *(which previously worked and now continue to work).
[Other Info]
-
- * Anything else you think is useful to include
- * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
- * and address these questions in advance

I am trying to create a new virtual machine with Virtual Machine Manager but keep receiving this error "Unable to complete install: 'Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree". The OS guest I am trying to install on the VM is Ubuntu server 14.04.4, 64 bit. The host OS (where the virtual manager is installed) is KUbuntu 16.04 .
Below is the full message that appears after completing the 5-steps VM
creation process and clicking on finish on virt-manager:
Unable to complete install: 'Couldn't find hvm kernel for Ubuntu tree.'

Description: desktop application for managing virtual machines
It presents a summary view of running domains and their live performance &
resource utilization statistics. A detailed view presents graphs showing
performance & utilization over time. Ultimately it will allow creation of new
domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain's resource allocation &
virtual hardware. Finally an embedded VNC client viewer presents a full
graphical console to the guest domain.
.
NOTE: the GUI is still considered experimental.

According to this discussion http://askubuntu.com/a/815056 on
Askubuntu.com, it is matter of an issue with the installer (virt-install
looking for i386 installer but should be looking for amd64 installer).
The bug is reportedly fixed on upstream, but not available yet for the
packages.
