Hello guys,
I have installed kvm-20 from source code. Loaded the kvm module and started the said libvirtd service. Now when I try to use virt-manager to create a new virtual machine it ends up saying no /usr/bin/qemu-kvm found.
Now I found that I don't have this file. At the irc I was told to use kvm-19-1.src.rpm from FC7 extras development SRPMS. I used that also. I compiled it too. It got compiled and installed successfully but that too didn't provided qemu-kvm. I found that in the source tree of kvm there is a directory qemu/ in which I have
qemu-kvm.c and qemu-kvm.h which get's compiled to qemu-kvm.o and get's into qemu/i386-softmmu/qemu-kvm.o but it doesn't makes any qemu-kvm executable in /usr/bin.
Also I tried to use virt-install , first of all I would like to tell that it's not intelligent enough to guess which hypervisor to use if we don't pass --connect argument. Now when I use it with --connect=qemu:///system to create a new virtual machine I got the following error:
libvir: QEMU error : internal error Failed to add tap interface 'vnet%d' to bridge 'xenbr0' : No such device
Traceback (most recent call last):

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self)
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Failed to add tap interface 'vnet%d' to bridge 'xenbr0' : No such device
Now it seems to follow a default xml file here. And it is trying to find xenbr0 which I don't have as I am not using a xen kernel so no xend running at the moment. It should use in that case eth0/eth1 right?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks
