That certainly seems clear, although I have no idea what to do about it. I run
Win7 under kvm without problems, so it sounds as if you have a virt_lib issue,
which I can't diagnose. You might just install under kvm directly from cli and
then do whatever it takes to use the hypervisor.
1 - create a disk image with qemu-img, use the "raw" format, I think hypervisor
needs that later.
2 - do the install:
qemu-kvm -m 800 -soundhw ac97 -hda your_disk.img -cdrom Win7_install.iso
IIRC that's what I did. It was more a test of kvm than using Win7, but it did
work fine, I can still boot and run.
