This is working fine with up to date fedora 25. Can you still reproduce? If so, please provide virt-manager --debug output when reproducing

Comment 4 lnie 2016-12-23 02:53:20 UTC
Haven't seen any change,so I'm going to attach the output with virt-manager-1.4.0-5.fc25.noarch.

Hmm, looking at the guest config, you may need to give it more ram, try 2 gb at least. Booting from the live CD is ram intensive.

As shown in the attached screenshot and video,2GB doesn't help.Both f25 and f26 livecd can boot successfully with the same ram size given(1224M).

Actually I can reproduce some weirdness on a different machine, not your errors but gnome-shell repeatedly crashes in the VM, see guest dmesg output. Seems related to host CPU, we both have a Skylake, I have an intel 6700 and there's similar non-virt reports elsewhere. So a workaround may be to do CPU->Clear CPU Configuration, install the VM, update the kernel, then switch the CPU to skylake or host-model.

If that's the case, please dupe to bug 1337919

Clear CPU Confiquration dose works,though after update the kernel of the newly installed system and switch the cpu back to skylake-client,the VM failed to boot with the same symptom as shown in attachment1262307 [details].
Gonna to dupe it and sorry for the delay response:)
