Has anyone tested EL2, and if so, should I be sending something
extra down to python virtinst for that?

Actually I just committed some work to virtinst that may help solve
this issue.
Try running qemu-kvm manually and testing out the -nic models. Try
'qemu-kvm -hda /any/old/file -net nic,model=?' to see a list of the
available ones. See if you can find a model that works, and we can
trivially put it in the virtinst os database. So if someone in
the future tries
virt-install --os-type linux --os-variant rhel2.1 --blah ...
We can automatically set the correct network model.
Also, if you already have a rhel2.1 libvirt vm that isn't
working, check out /var/log/libvirt/qemu/{vmname}.log to
see what the qemu-kvm command line libvirt is generating,
so you can just swap out the model, rather than trying to
recreate the whole qemu-kvm cl from scratch.

Will do. (and this is something I'd like to see backported if possible.)
I'm not sure how much RHEL 2 is out there, but I'd rather it be
running virtually than non-virtually. I'm guessing Xen works fine
though and that is what most folks would be using now (probably would
have heard of it otherwise).

Strike that backport bit, no qemu in RHEL. It's all good. Will test and
get back with that...
