Using KVM, I've not been able to use virt-manager to create a new virtual machine. It fails setting up the network bridge (I selected the default network setup, as I'm on a wireless network handled by NetworkManager). I get this traceback after the disk image has been created: Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> virDomainCreateLinux() failed Failed to add tap interface 'vnet-1078634840' to bridge 'virbr0' : No such device Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 616, in do_install dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 724, in start_install return self._do_install(consolecb, meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 741, in _do_install self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 573, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed Failed to add tap interface 'vnet-1078634840' to bridge 'virbr0' : No such device ' virt-manager-0.5.2-2.fc8 python-virtinst-0.300.1-3.fc8 libvirt-python-0.3.3-2.fc8
What host kernel version are you on ? Rawhide kernel is currently fubar for bridged networking.
kernel-2.6.24-0.39.rc3.git1.fc9
# /usr/sbin/brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces and in dmesg: virbr0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. virbr0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. virbr0: Dropping NETIF_F_UFO since no NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature.
Yep, you loose I'm afraid. Bug 390991 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 390991 ***
