Description of problem: Virt-manager in amd64, connect libvirtd in s390x, install a guest OS redhat 7.0 in s390x. If do not specify kernel and initrd path, We can create the new guest (with minimal capacity and default NAT for network), but as soon as the guest starts, virt-manager tries to open a console connection to it, and hangs. The --debug output from virt-manager looks like this: [Fri, 30 Oct 2015 09:43:50 virt-manager 11927] DEBUG (connection:753) domain lifecycle event: domain=zamsaad_guest event=4 reason=0 [Fri, 30 Oct 2015 09:43:50 virt-manager 11927] DEBUG (connection:753) domain lifecycle event: domain=zamsaad_guest event=8 reason=0 [Fri, 30 Oct 2015 09:43:50 virt-manager 11927] DEBUG (connection:753) domain lifecycle event: domain=zamsaad_guest event=4 reason=0 [Fri, 30 Oct 2015 09:43:50 virt-manager 11927] DEBUG (connection:753) domain lifecycle event: domain=zamsaad_guest event=8 reason=0 Also , when we specify the kernel and initrd image path ,enable direct kernel boot, virt-manager will open guest install interface .

My guess is that something is causing qemu to repeatedly reset. Can you provide /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log from the libvirtd server?

If the VM is crashing then you need to dig a bit deeper to figure out why. Could be a bug there, or a virt-manager XML issue, or libvirt qemu command line issue, or user error I'd suggest asking the KVM IBM folks, or take that qemu command line and try to manually make it work by hand. Closing as DEFERRED for now but please reopen if you determine virt-manager needs changes

Closing as DEFERRED for now but please > reopen if you determine virt-manager needs changes Hi Cole, Thanks for your advice. I find that , when I don't specify the kernel and initrd , installation process has been skipped , and be treated successful. Then according to the boot xml, virt-manager will try to restart it again and again. Do you think I can debug this by getting the debug information of libvirtd in the server? Also ,I don't know the domain lifecycle event means , is it a event that sent by libvirtd in the server? Sincerely Thanks~
