I've recently upgraded a machine to F9 (fresh install) and I'm hitting
a strange virt-install/koan issue. The machine is i386 and HVM is
enabled in the BIOS.
Running "virt-install" with no arguments yields: "Unsupported
virtualization type". Running with the "--hvm" flag works as
expected. In the past virt-install had always done the right thing
whenever KVM was the only option.
I must have been confused about the virt-install functionality. After
a quick look at the code it looks like it simply defaults to 'xen' for
the os_type whenever you don't specify '--hvm' on the command line,
hence the "Unsupported virtualization type" error.
Now to debug the error from koan since all the virt-install stuff was
really just yak shaving.
The only reason I suspect my koan problem is related is simply because
of the error message, and that koan uses virt-install. The Virt host
is running F9 with KVM. Here is the output from koan:
koan -s [my cobbler server] --virt --virt-type=qemu
--virt-path=/images --profile Fedora9-i386 --virt-name=bleanhar1-koan
--virt-bridge=br0 - reading URL:

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)
Any thoughts on what could cause the "Unsupported virtualization type"
and the "unsupported architecture" errors? I've already triple
checked that the guest being installed is i386 and that "virt-install
--hvm" actually works.

I've attached the xml Koan is passing to virtinst. I can take koan
out of the picture and simply try to create the guest with virsh and I
get the exact same error. Here's more host info:
