I have discovered that this timeout
is due to kvm-84 being really slow to start (~10-15 seconds just to get to the
bios screen). Is there any way that this
timeout can be set via the Libvirt.conf with a reasonable default. It seems as though the current
default is only around 3 seconds which seems a little too optimistic to me. Regards, -J From:

and for some reason when I try to start a VM from virsh I get the following
