Description Ingimar Jonsson 2010-02-04 08:53:52 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 "write" access on sr0.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by qemu-system-x86. It is not expected that this
access is required by qemu-system-x86 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Ingimar Jonsson 2010-02-04 08:58:02 UTC
I was running Virtual Machine Manager 0.8.2 and creating a new virtual machine.
Using Local install media
Everything was default settings, installing winXP 
The error comes as soon as the VM starts.
