[et-mgmt-tools] error while creating rhel5fv with cdrom support (qemu-kvm)

Hi,

I installed a brand new system with RHEL5. In that system I installed
virt-manager, virtinst, libvirt, libvirt-python, kvm
and qemu latest. Build via src.rpm.
Now I tried to install a RHEL5 guest with the following configurations:

And when I clicked on Finish I got this error message:

Unable to complete install 'libvirt.libvirtError virDomainCreateLinux()
failed internal error End-of-file while reading PTY startup output
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 677, in
do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 649, in
start_install
    return self._do_install(consolecb, meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 666, in
_do_install
    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 480, in
createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed',
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error End-of-file while
reading PTY startup output
'

Now does this means I can't install fully virtualized guest (hypervisor
qemu-kvm) with bootable cdrom support? Same thing happens If I try to
install ubuntu from CD. It's full virtualization then why is it failing like
this. Also I want to give output of "ps aux | grep libvirt"

[root at server ~]# ps aux | grep libvirt
