Description of problem: The latest libvirt/virt-manager combo creates xen configuration files with a parameter xm doesn't recognize. An example of the offending line from an /etc/xen file is: vfb = [ "type=vnc,vncunused=1,keymap=en_us" ] Trying to 'xm create' the config file errors with: Error: configuration option keymap unknown to vfbs This change came about via the patch to libvirt for bug 250789. In GA we used the vfb[] format, but (at least by a default virt-manager guest install) the keymap option was not present. So this could be a libvirt issue, but since xm list --long shows the 'keymap' option coupled with the rest of the vfb options in the sexpr, this option should probably be recognized by xm. libvirt-0.2.3-7.el5 virt-manager-0.4.0-3.el5 xen-3.0.3-35.el5 xen-libs-3.0.3-35.el5 kernel = 2.6.18-37.el5xen How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new guest in virt-manager 2. Shutdown the guest 3. 'xm create /etc/xen/GUESTNAME' and receive the error Expected results: No error, guest starts up.
