Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. There's two parts here. First is what you mention, that we shouldn't list OS that are no longer supported/receiving updates from their instituion (like fedora < 14, windows < XP, etc). We can track this info in virtinst's osdict, and longer term in libosinfo. virtinst probably should only list these "supported" options in its man page, with maybe a command line switch to list the full os dict, since otherwise the man page is just going to grow without bound. We can push this change upstream since it will improve general virt-manager usage anyways. Second is that for RHEL6, we should only be listing OS options that _we_ support as a VM. Probably should just implement this a RHEL6 patch with a filter list for OS options. I think we should still have some checkbox in the UI or something to 'show all OS options' as a fallback. Also, need to make sure the distro detection works even if the detected OS option is currently hidden. *** Bug 725086 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Bhavna, Do you have a link to our VM OS support list? Cole, this is our official guest support matrix. http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/virtualization_support.html#virt_matrix Thanks bhavna. Upstream virt-manager knows how to do this filtering now, just need to turn it on for the RHEL build. Fixed in virt-manager-0.9.0-2.el6 can reproduce with virt-manage-0.8.6-4.el6 verify with virt-manager-0.9.0-5.el6 During install new vm,have a filter list for OS options,and add have "show all OS options" to show all list,it can worked as expect. the filter list is same with virtinst man help now. Verification passed. Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team.
