Description of problem: I'm trying to create a new qemu arm7l guest using a pre-built image (Fedora-Minimal-armhfp-19-1-sda.raw), but I get: Unable to complete install: 'XML error: No PCI buses available' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 100, in cb_wrapper callback(asyncjob, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 1920, in do_install guest.start_install(False, meter=meter) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1134, in start_install noboot) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtinst/Guest.py", line 1202, in _create_guest dom = self.conn.createLinux(start_xml or final_xml, 0) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 2782, in createLinux if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: XML error: No PCI buses available Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-1.0.5.2-1.fc19.x86_64
Known issue, FYI we are trying to sort this out for F20: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Virt_ARM_on_x86
Is there any workaround at the moment? virsh define seems to give me the same error.
(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #2) > Is there any workaround at the moment? virsh define seems to give me the > same error. No unfortunately, libvirt just doesn't know how to build a qemu-system-arm command line correctly. The workaround is using qemu-system-arm directly.
I've posted a series upstream about this and will be backporting the patches to F20 at least: www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-August/msg00790.html https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Changes/Virt_ARM_on_x86
