Hello,
I have a problem with virt-install. I want to use it to create my vm and
manage them. But whenever I execute the virt-install cmd I get the error
msg mentioned in the subject.
Here are some more informations:

I have no clue what is going on. I have kvm compiled into my kernel.
Normal "kvm" commands are working. Intel VT is enabled in the bios.
Any thoughts on this one?
Do you have qemu installed? Under what paths?
Libvirt tries to find qemu-kvm under PATH or /usr/libexec/;
then kvm and qemu-system-* under PATH;
What about /dev/kvm - is it accessible?
Please, provide libvirt logs as well.

Hello,
first of all thank you very much for your reply.
The hint with the libvirt log pointed me into the right direction. While
executing the virt-install cmd there was an error in the libvirt.log:
12:03:11.938: 3137: error : qemuCapsParseHelpStr:1165 : internal error
cannot parse /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 version number in 'QEMU
emulator version 1.0 (qemu-kvm-1.0), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice
Bellard'
Google for that error pointed me to a bug report. This bug still seems
to be in the qemu-kvm version I was using (1.0-r2). Upgrading to version
9999 seemed to solve my issue. I don't get the error anymore and will
now try to setup a virtual machine.
Kind regards,
Felix Blanke
