RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2014-01-08 13:40:53 UTC
Description of problem:

F20 virt-manager -> RHEL7 post-beta host (via ssh) installing RHEL7-beta1 via http
gave me:
Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -no-hpet: invalid option

(Full backtrace below)

libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.1.1-16.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Only tried once; note works with RHEL7 virt-manager against itself

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start virt-manager on F20, connect to virt on RHEL7 host via ssh (I'm using a key)
2. Create a new VM giving it the URL to the RHEL7 beta - note that it detects that it's RHEL7
3. Tell it to start the install

Actual results:

The error above

Expected results:

A nice fresh RHEL7 VM

Additional info:

Unable to complete install: 'internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -no-hpet: invalid option
'

<crobinso> dgilbert: hmm. I think that's a RHEL7 libvirt bug. IIRC libvirt is supposed to detect if the qemu binary provides -no-hpet, otherwise assume -no-hpet is the default (like on RHEL).
