Hi, I've updated the patches [1] for virt-inst that deal with machine images. The XML format has changed some since the inital patches. Main changes: * the os type/variant business has been removed from the XML. Instead, the features section now allows specifying acpi/apic directly, e.g. '<acpi state="off"/>' (right now, this requires some patches [2] to libvirt, too; without them, virt-image will complain that it can't find a suitable boot descriptor) * the <disks> section in the <boot> elements has been changed so that each disk mapping corresponds to a <drive> element instead of being in <disks>/<map> * the various hardware info (vcpu, memory, interface, graphics) are in a devices section * the <machine> tag is now called <domain> For details of the format, look at the example image.xml, and the Relax-NG grammar, image.rng.
