Description of problem: When creating a new guest virtual machine for Fedora 10 and specifying Fedora 10 as the system type, the resulting device type for the CD/DVD iso image is "/dev/vdb" which results in "could not read boot disk". I suspect that only an IDE device will work with the CD/DVD. I have not tested it but this probably does not work with a Fedora 11 guest either. Specifying that the system type is Fedora 9 so that IDE device types only will be used works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 11 plus "virt-preview" set of packages for F11. libvirt-0.7.0-3.fc11.x86_64 qemu-0.10.91-0.5.rc1.fc11.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.10.91-0.5.rc1.fc11.x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.0-1.fc11.noarch How reproducible: everytime
Could you attach virt-manager.log and the guest log from /var/log/libvirt/qemu ?
Created attachment 357518 [details] virt-manager.log started with a clean log ... only did the definition of "f10test" which had /deb/vdb for the CD/DVD (which did not work)
Created attachment 357519 [details] f10test.log
Thanks Gene, I can reproduce this - adding to the Fedora 12 blocker list

Perry confirms this happens with virt-install too

removing the virtio storage device for the cdrom and re-adding a new storage device as cdrom/ide for the iso and my livecd boots! Success!

I think this is supposed to be fixed by: * Sun Sep 13 2009 Cole Robinson <crobinso> - 0.500.0-2.fc12 - Don't use virtio for cdrom devices (bz 517151) However, there may be more issues - see bug #524109
