Description of problem: In trying to create a VM for Windows 2008 Server, I consistently get an error. I was able to create VMs for Fedora 15 (32- and 64-bit) without issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new VM in VMM 2. Select a Windows 2008 ISO image downloaded from MSDN. 3. Finish configuring the system (1G RAM, 50G virtual disk, single NIC) and click finish. Actual results: The error message listed below. Expected results: A virt-viewer window that shows me the VM starting up and running. Additional info: The error I see in the dialog is: Unable to complete install: 'Unable to create cgroup for Windows2k8Server: No such file or directory' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 45, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1643, in do_install guest.start_install(False, meter=meter) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1187, in start_install start_xml, final_xml, is_initial) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1246, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1346, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: Unable to create cgroup for Windows2k8Server: No such file or directory However at this point the virtual disk DOES exist in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ and is as large as expected.
