Description of problem: Having installed qemu-system-ppc-1.6.1-2.fc20.x86_64 I'm trying to install a ppc64 system using virt-manager. I chose "Linux" for OS type and "19" for Version, and I've selected "ppc64" in the Architecture options section of the New VM dialog, but none of the machine types I can select result in a new VM. Each gives an error: pseries: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Warning: Disabling some instructions which are not emulated by TCG (0x0, 0x6) qemu-system-ppc64: -device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864: Parameter 'driver' expects device type ' bamboo, mpc8544ds, none, ppce500, prep: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-ppc64: -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci,addr=0x3: Bus 'pci' not found ' g3beige: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-ppc64: -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:0b:48:8b,bus=pci,addr=0x1: PCI: slot 1 function 0 not available for rtl8139, in use by macio-oldworld qemu-system-ppc64: -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:0b:48:8b,bus=pci,addr=0x1: Device initialization failed. qemu-system-ppc64: -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:0b:48:8b,bus=pci,addr=0x1: Device 'rtl8139' could not be initialized ' mac99: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-ppc64: -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0: No 'ISA' bus found for device 'isa-serial' ' ref405ep: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: ref405ep_init: register cpu ppc4xx_opba_init: offset 00000000ef600600 ppc405_gpio_init: offset 00000000ef600700 ppc4xx_gpt_init: offset 00000000ef600000 ref405ep_init: register BIOS Load BIOS from file qemu: could not load PowerPC bios 'ppc405_rom.bin' ' taihu: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: taihu_405ep_init: register cpu ppc4xx_opba_init: offset 00000000ef600600 ppc405_gpio_init: offset 00000000ef600700 ppc4xx_gpt_init: offset 00000000ef600000 taihu_405ep_init: register BIOS Load BIOS from file qemu: could not load PowerPC bios 'ppc405_rom.bin' ' virtex-ml507: Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: Can't create serial device, empty char device ' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.10.0-5.git1ffcc0cc.fc20.noarch libvirt-daemon-1.1.3.1-2.fc20.x86_64 qemu-common-1.6.1-2.fc20.x86_64 qemu-system-ppc-1.6.1-2.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time.
The only machine type that gets any real attention WRT virt is pseries. I can get it to boot by using the stdvga graphics card, so we need to change the default in virt-manager.
Fixed upstream now
virt-manager-1.0.0-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/virt-manager-1.0.0-1.fc20
With virt-manager-1.0.0-1.fc20.noarch I get this for every ppc64 machine type: Unable to complete install: 'unsupported configuration: setting ACPI S3 not supported' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 91, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1781, in do_install guest.start_install(meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 400, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/guest.py", line 464, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2897, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: unsupported configuration: setting ACPI S3 not supported
Doh, fixed one issue only to add another one later. I'll push a new update in a bit

Thanks. It creates the guest now, although for some (I guess unrelated) reason it doesn't get as far as anaconda when installing F19 ppc64.
