Looks like a libvirt bug actually. Patch sent upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-March/msg01038.html
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as exception or blocker. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
DV, did this ever get committed?
No and we are still having the problem. I changed the patch to address the comments, and posted the new version: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-August/msg00335.html Daniel

Hi, I have reproduced the bug with : libvirt-0.8.7-14.el6.x86_64 python-virtinst-0.500.5-3.el6.noarch And i have verified on the latest version on: python-virtinst-0.600.0-2.el6.noarch libvirt-0.9.4-4.el6.x86_64 The steps are as follows: 1, download the iso # cd /var/lib/libvirt/boot # wget http://download.englab.nay.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Live/i686/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso 2, create a domain, and vnc-viewer popup, and the guest machine boot from fedora iso. # virt-install -n test1 -r 512 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/test1.img -s 6 -c /var/lib/libvirt/boot/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso --vnc --serial udp,host=127.0.0.1:2222 Starting install... Allocating 'test1.img' | 6.0 GB 00:00 Creating domain... | 0 B 00:00 3, close the vnc-viewer, Terminal shows: Domain installation still in progress. You can reconnect to the console to complete the installation process. And now it's expected results. The test is pass.
