Description of problem: Both virt-manager and virt-install decline of setting virtual cpu count to any higher than 1. Using qemu-kvm I get to set it to higher. I'm currently installing rhel5 for 2 virtualcpu virtual machine via qemu-kvm. The real CPU is 4 core intel 5420, which should work. I'm running Fedora 9 beta with rawhide updates. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kvm-64-3.fc9.x86_64 fedora-release-8.92-1.noarch virt-manager-0.5.4-3.fc9.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.300.3-4.fc9.noarch Linux whipper 2.6.25-0.204.rc8.git4.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Apr 7 10:25:52 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: every time the same failure. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the virtual machine manager and start creating a new machine. Try setting vcpu count to higher than 1. or $ sudo virt-install -n virt-install-fail -r 1024 --vcpus=2 -f /tmp/virt-install.img -s 2000 -v --vnc -c /home/itengval/Desktop/boot-i386.iso --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel5 --connect qemu:///system --accelerate 2. 3. Actual results: output: "ERROR: Number of vcpus must be in the range of 1-1" Expected results: Just use 2 cpu's as instructed. By using qemu-kvm directly it works. Additional info:
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
This is libvirt reporting the wrong info for the KVM cpu limit.
