Ok, this confirms your host OS is x86_64, but it only shows a single
guest entry for i386. This is because the 'qemu' binar is the 32-bit
emulator. To make x86_64 guests work, you need to install the
qemu-system-x86_64 binary, or a KVM binary called 'kvm' or 'qemu-kvm'.
Once those are installed, you should see another<guest> appear in
that capabilities XML
Unfortunately, I already have the 64bit emulator installed:
$ which qemu-system-x86_64
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/qemu-*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 217184 Jan 14 14:00 /usr/local/bin/qemu-img
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 229120 Jan 14 14:00 /usr/local/bin/qemu-io
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 210968 Jan 14 14:00 /usr/local/bin/qemu-nbd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2323328 Jan 14 14:01 /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
This was done by building the qemu-kvm-0.12.1.1 package from source.
I am able to run this vm just fine using the qemu-system-x86_64
binary. I've tried rebuilding libvirt several times to make it aware
that the proper binaries are installed, but it can't seem to find them
for some reason.
libvirt expects the QEMU binaries in /usr/bin. e.g. it explicitly
checks for /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64. Try symlinking
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 to /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64.
That's not enough. I have a locally-built qemu-system-x86_64 installed
in /usr/bin, and the only way I could get it to work properly was copy
/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 to /usr/bin/qemu-kvm (a symlink would likely
do the job just as well). There is a bit of code just doesn't happen
unless /usr/bin/qemu-kvm or /usr/bin/kvm exist and are executable,
although I have to say that once I solved my own problem by making a
copy of the file with the proper name, I stopped trying to understood
exactly what was happening in that code :-)
