virt-manager-0.8.0-1.fc12.noarch In v-m-m create a vm attaching a livecd iso as the insall media do not attach any storage. Try to boot. Turn it off. go to vm->details->Disk vda clicked the 'disconnect' button click 'connect' choose the same file you just disconnected. try to start the vm get this error Error starting domain: internal error unsupported driver name 'file' for disk '/var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-11-x86_64-Live.iso Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 567, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 652, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 293, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error unsupported driver name 'file' for disk '/var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-11-x86_64-Live.iso'
Could you include ~/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log and /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$guest.log ?
Created attachment 357071 [details] virt-manager.log
The guest.log is empty.
Here's the interesting bit: connect_cdrom produced: <disk type="file" device="cdrom"> <driver name="file" type=""/> <target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/> <readonly/> <source file="/var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-11-x86_64-Live.iso"/> </disk> it should be name="qemu", not name="file" The code causing the problem was introduced in: http://hg.et.redhat.com/cgi-bin/hg-virt.cgi/applications/virt-manager--devel/rev/f4107609ab7d Need to consider the Xen implications when fixing

I'm seeing this here as well, any idea when a fix might land? virt-install doesn't seem to have this issue.
