Description of problem:

i've installed a VM on rhel 5.5 server using virt-install
by default the "-M" flag have "rhel5.4.0" which is not true.

the virt-install should recognize on which OS the server is running and set the flag according to the server OS.

Comment 1 Yaniv Kaul 2010-06-29 04:49:39 UTC 
Not a bug - management should run by default with -M 5.4, unless it knows better, to retain backward compatibility.
