Created attachment 669855 [details] Guest XML I am using Oz to build an image on Amazon EC2. I need to use libvirt/qemu with emulation because EC2 doesn't do nested virtualization. I'm using latest Fedora 17. I've updated Oz to the latest upstream version, all other packages are unmodified. When building an image, Oz bails out with the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/oz-install", line 7, in <module> execfile(__file__) File "/home/ec2-user/oz/oz-install", line 146, in <module> libvirt_xml = guest.install(timeout, force_download) File "/home/ec2-user/oz/oz/Guest.py", line 1534, in install return self._do_install(timeout, force, 0) File "/home/ec2-user/oz/oz/Guest.py", line 1515, in _do_install dom = self.libvirt_conn.createXML(xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2420, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirt.libvirtError: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=23: vhost-net support is not compiled in qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=23: vhost-net requested but could not be initialized qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0,vhost=on,vhostfd=23: Device 'tap' could not be initialized I've also reported this to Oz upstream under this issue: https://github.com/clalancette/oz/issues/47 However I think this is a libvirt bug. I haven't fully diagonized this but it appears that qemu-system-x86_64 is built without vhost support. However, libvirtd does pass a vhost=on parameter. I've added the XML that Oz generated to create the guest.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This doesn't appear to be an issue on F19, and since F17 is EOL very soon, just closing as CURRENTRELEASE.
