Bug Description
The sample command as listed in the documentation will create a VM image that can be used within OpenStack, however the console log will not display when using nova console-log <InstanceName> nor when using horizon to examine the console-log.
In order to get this functionality the virt-install command requires the --extra-args options and --location instead of --cdrom. The sample below will work....
virt-install --virt-type kvm --name centos-
--network network=default --graphics vnc,listen=0.0.0.0 --noautoconsole --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 \
--extra-

This was noticed in havana release. As it is a VM creation issue, it is not related to OpenStack release. I have been told the same issue exists for creating Debian images.
Also the fedorapeople.org centos image is inherently broken.
