Creating new VM in Virtual Manager, when selecting "i440FX" chipset for it, it is impossible to save VM configuration and begin its installation, because error "Unable to complete install: 'XML error: The PCI controller with index='0' must be model='pci-root' for this machine type, but model='pcie-root' was found instead' and it is not possible to easily remove this error. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create new VM in Virtual Manager 2. Check "Customize configuration before install" 3. select "Chipset: i440FX" in Hypervisor Details menu, click "Apply" 4. Click "Begin installation" cause error window appears, with message: Unable to complete install: 'XML error: The PCI controller with index='0' must be model='pci-root' for this machine type, but model='pcie-root' was found instead' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 72, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/createvm.py", line 2008, in _do_async_install installer.start_install(guest, meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 695, in start_install domain = self._create_guest( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/install/installer.py", line 637, in _create_guest domain = self.conn.createXML(initial_xml or final_xml, 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 4529, in createXML raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: XML error: The PCI controller with index='0' must be model='pci-root' for this machine type, but model='pcie-root' was found instead Actual Results: IMO It is not possible to resolve this problem from virtual-manager menu without editing XML configuration file. VM thus is not possible to install. Expected Results: PCI controller should be configured automatically when choosing i440FX chipset, or should be possible manually remove PCIe controller and add PCI controller instead.
