this issue only occurred on xenfv, not happened on xenpv or kvm Thanks, fixed upstream: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git?p=python-virtinst.git;a=commit;h=63476238e7099779c79bdf50134df8a1fb313b55 However given that this is pretty low impact, and cache modes don't even apply to xen anyways, I don't think this is worth fixing at this point in RHEL5.

Description of problem: using cache=writeback or cache=writethrough in --disk option will get an error on xenfv of virt-install Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-virtinst-0.400.3-12.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run command line: #virt-install -n demo -r 1024 --disk path=/tmp/demo.img,size=5,device=disk,cache=writeback --hvm -c /dev/cdrom or run command line: #virt-install -n demo -r 1024 --disk path=/tmp/demo.img,size=5,device=disk,cache=writethrough --hvm -c /dev/cdrom Actual results: ERROR POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err 'Error creating domain: Block device type "qemu" is invalid.') Domain installation may not have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running 'virsh start demo'; otherwise, please restart your installation.
