Description of problem: On a non-HT machine (Inspiron 9300) vm creation fails. Using a default 4 gig disk image, the image gets initialized then the error occurs. In the previous incarnation (version just before this one), there was an error message related to not being able to initialize the network because the default profile wasn't found, though this no longer happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: This was making a qemu based install, taking all the defaults except using a disk image rather than a partition. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> virDomainCreateLinux() failed Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 681, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 649, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 666, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 521, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed
What version of RPMs for libvirt, qemu, kvm and virt-manager please ? Also can you grab & attach $HOME/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log or /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log from immediately after trying to create the VM.
Created attachment 159104 [details] virtmanager log from fresh vm creation session The mac address doesn't correspond to an valid mac address on the machine (neither the wired eth0 or the wireless eth1). It should be using the wireless eth1.
libvirt-python-0.3.0-1.fc8 libvirt-0.3.0-1.fc8 qemu-0.9.0-2.fc7 kvm-28-1.fc8 virt-manager-0.4.0-2.fc7
The log file doesn't show anything untoward. The MAC address listed is the MAC address asigned to the guest's virtual NIC - ie eth0 inside the guest. This is not expected to match the host NIC's MAC address - you guest will be connected to the host network with NAT, so this is fine. How much RAM have you got in your host OS in total ? Could you also see if there is anything under /var/log/libvirt/qemu ?
The host machine has 1 gig of ram. Swap is available but not used. Tried reducing the size of the virtual machine to 256M but same result. The /var/log/libvirt/qemu is created but has 0 bytes.
I have exactly the same error on F7. The version of programs used are: libvirt-0.3.0-1.fc7 libvirt-python-0.3.0-1.fc7 qemu-0.9.0-2.fc7 kvm-24-1 virt-manager-0.4.0-2.fc7

Can you tell me what kernel version you are using ? Also, are you on Fedora 7, or rawhide ?
2.6.22-8.fc8 The machine is updated from rawhide pretty much every day. I've tried several different times (I think I did use FC7 at one point) but haven't been successful yet.
Hi, is this still an issue on either F8 with the latest packages?
The bug report has gotten stale since virt-manager has changed quite a bit. I'll close this and open another bug report if I see it happening again on a recent version.
