Description of problem: I was installing a windows xp on a rawhide box and when the windows virtual machine rebooted, it did not have access to the cdrom, which it was installing from.
Created attachment 298304 [details] virt log
The solution for this is to go into the virtual machine details and reattach hdc to your ISO image.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
The fix for this is actually in python-virtinst, so moving to that component. This has also been fixed upstream: http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel?cs=06315a1b8f70 Media for a guest specified as 'Windows' now remains attached to the guest until manually removed by the user.
