Hi,<br><br>Got my git/hg builds of libvirtd/virt-manager running together with kvm. Took some time but finally think I'm getting the<br>hang of it.<br><br>I noticed two things going from my pre-packaged Debian packages.<br>
<br>The older xml files I had seemed to generate a faulty kvm cmdline:<br> <br> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'><br> <target dev='hdc' bus='ide'/><br> <readonly/><br>
</disk><br><br>This seems to translate into a -drive file=,... The file argument for kvm may be empty but should then not be defined:<br>"If you don’t specify the "file=" argument, you define an empty drive". As a result the first vm I tried to start came back<br>
with a message saying it could not open the diskfile. <br><br>Additionally, check below screenshot; the vm names appear to be missing. Here's the complete XML of one vm,<br>did anything change coming from this one?<br>
