Without actually thoroughly thinking about it, I updated my system yesterday with the latest qemu-kvm. rpm -qa shows qemu-kvm-0.13.0-0.5.20100809git25fdf4a.fc13.x86_64 See also: virsh # version Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.2 Using library: libvir 0.8.2 Using API: QEMU 0.8.2 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.13.50 Now when I attempt to start a domain that was working perfectly well prior to this update, I get the following: virsh # start winxp1 error: Failed to start domain winxp1 error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: Supported machines are: pc Standard PC (alias of pc-0.13) pc-0.13 Standard PC (default) pc-0.12 Standard PC pc-0.11 Standard PC, qemu 0.11 pc-0.10 Standard PC, qemu 0.10 isapc ISA-only PC Virt-Manager throws the same error when attempt to start an existing domain. I'm assuming that there's now some sort of compatibility issue between the current versions of libvirt/virt-manager and qemu-kvm? Is there a way to get around this and somehow use my existing domains with this updated version of qemu-kvm? Interestingly, just out of curiosity, I've started a new installation of a WinXP vm. This seems to be going perfectly well so far, so I assume that the issue is only with domains previously created with the older version of qemu?? Any assistance in being able to run my existing domains would be greatly appreciated! -- Regards, Mike Hinz President YR20 1718 Fry Road Suite 440 Houston, TX 77084 mike.hinz@xxxxxxxx 832-225-1293 (o) 713-594-3095 (m) 832-550-2657 (f)
