KVM Error - Could not find an installable distribution

[linbox289]

I tried installing Virtual machine using KVM as per the instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM while creating guest

ubox@ubox:~$ sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system --name vmbox1 --ram 512 --file=/VM/1/disk1.img --file-size=8 --network=bridge:br0 --vnc --os-type=linux --os-variant=ubuntulucid --location=/tmp/ubuntu-10.04.1-server-amd64_2.iso

Starting install...

Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start vmbox1'; otherwise, please restart your installation.

I have placed the ISO image under /tmp I am not sure whether I messed up with something, please guide.

Ubuntu version : Ubuntu Desktop Edition 10.04 LTS
