qemu-0.10.91-0.8.rc1.fc12.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-0.10.91-0.8.rc1.fc12.x86_64
virt-manager-0.8.0-2.fc12.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clean install of packages (yum install virt-manager)
2.Run virt-manager
3.Set up a new Fedora 11 guest from qemu:qemu-owned Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD.iso

Can you provide the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$GUEST.log  from the time this error happens ?    Also the 'virsh dumpxml $GUEST'  output from the time it is running and showing this errror


At least QEMU has started up, so its unlikely to be selinux / file permissions problem at this point. There must be some guest config / setup problem instead i reckon

Ah ha, the guest XML has the CDROM device configured to use VirtIO !

    <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
      <driver name='qemu'/>
      <source file='/tmp/tim/Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD.iso'/>
      <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>
      <readonly/>
    </disk>


This is a bug in virtinst library   - bug 517151

To workaround, you can use  'virsh edit $GUEST' and change

      <target dev='vdb' bus='virtio'/>

to 

      <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/>
