Description Cole Robinson 2009-09-21 18:33:10 UTC 
Example:

# virsh start f11_1
error: Failed to start domain f11_1
error: internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open disk image
/root/f11_1

Since these messages are often the only error indication to users, it would help to make them as descriptive as possible. This is especially important for F12:

Disk access example: bz 517379
Kernel/Initrd ex   : bz 523960
