Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu-kvm "read" access on images. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by qemu-kvm. It is not expected that this access is required by qemu-kvm and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Did you setup a link file to a separate location for image files?
You can add these rules for now using # grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-52.fc12.noarch
