My day started like this: # virt-install --connect qemu:///system --arch mips --machine malta --memory 256 --disk none --import Using default --name vm-mips Starting install... ERROR XML error: No PCI buses available Needless to say, it ended up completely ruined. Chained to this message are the patches I've created in an attempt to remedy the highly unfortunate situation, with hope that they'll be treated with warmth, understanding and perhaps even applied to the libvirt tree. Yours, Lubo
