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.

I can reproduce this bug with package:
virt-manager-1.2.1-8.el7.noarch

Steps are the same as description above.

Then try to verify with new build:
virt-manager-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch

Steps:
1.Ensure xen server could be access
2.Run virt-manager. Add a new connect to xen host by clicking "File->Add Connection", select "Xen" in Hypervisor, check the "Connect to remote host" and input the hostname, then click "Connect".
3.Create a new guest by clicking the "Create a new virtual machine" icon and select "Local install media(ISO or CDROM)" then click forward and select rhel7.2.iso, then keep all the settings default until finish.
4.Enter into installation interface and click option "Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2".

Results:
After step4 , black screen doesn't occur and the guest can be installed successfully.
