Starting with virt-manager

Create a new VM
Choose to install from ISO
Point it to a Fedora 11 x86_64 livecd (have tried other F11 isos)
Choose no storage space (doesn't seem to matter)
Start the VM.

VM starts but I get this error on screen:

booting from CD-Rom...
CDROM boot failure code : 0003
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk

FATAL: No bootable device.

The entirety of the /var/log/libvirt/Fedora11-LiveCD log is:

Thanks Eric, problem is virtinst creating guests with a virtio cdrom instead of an ide cdrom:

file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-11-x86_64-Live.iso,if=virtio,media=cdrom
