The virt-image tool is explicitly rejecting any disk images which are not in the raw or iso format. Some patches I did to the Fedora live CD tools allow creation of appliances & virt-image XML using any disk format supported by qemu-img: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2008-February/msg00085.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2008-February/msg00090.html If I loosen the virt-image disk format checks to allow qcow, qcow2, and vmdk it all works fine, so I've comitted this change http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virtinst--devel?cs=3b2bc0e2b060 Regards, Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=| _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
