Description of problem: I went through the following steps to create a fully virt domain with virt-manager (x86_64): 1. New 2. System name -> rhel5-fv 3. Fully-virtualized 4. ISO image location: /var/lib/xen/isos/boot.iso 5. Simple file: /var/lib/xen/images/rhel5-fv.dsk 6. Max memory = 500, startup memory = 500, vcpus = 1 7. Finish After clicking finish, I get "ERROR: virDomainCreateLinux() failed", and some error messages in /var/log/audit/auditd.log: type=AVC msg=audit(1163532317.285:199): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=3070 comm="python" name="boot.iso" dev=sda3 ino=4877676 scontext=system_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1163532317.285:199): arch=c000003e syscall=4 success=no exit=-13 a0=77a470 a1=427ff9f0 a2=427ff9f0 a3=77a470 items=0 ppid=2655 pid=3070 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) comm="python" exe="/usr/bin/python" subj=system_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC_PATH msg=audit(1163532317.285:199): path="/var/lib/xen/isos/boot.iso" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager 0.2.5-1 kernel 2.6.18-1.2747.el5xen selinux-policy-targeted 2.4.3-11
You have a badly labeled file restorecon -R -v /var/lib/xen Looks like you mv'd it from a homedir or /root. Need to relabel file
