Where can libvirt be getting info > to change the xml to vmvga, or the IDE to the wrong location? I've not seen these symptoms, so I can only outline the sorts of steps I'd take in troubleshooting. First, I'd check for SELinux issues: 1. Run "fixfiles check /etc" to see if a configuration file is mislabled. 2. Do the same thing on /var to see if any runtime files have issues. 3. Run "ausearch -m avc" and grep for qemu or libvirt issues. After that, I'd get more drastic: 1. virsh shutdown $DOM. 2. virsh dumpxml $DOM > /tmp/dom.xml 3. virsh undefine $DOM 4. virsh create /tmp/dom.xml 5. virsh edit $DOM 6. virsh start $DOM --console And then see if things get better. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein@xxxxxxxxxx <> http://www.madboa.com/ _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
