Hi,

I was using the virt-manager to install a Fully Virtualized System,
and I checked the option "Enable kernel / hardware acceleration", but
when Im at the end (when I click in Finish) appear the follow error:
virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error End-of-file while reading
PTY startup output

Details:
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/local/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 647,
in start_install
    return self._do_install(consolecb, meter)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/virtinst/Guest.py", line 664,
in _do_install
    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib64/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
'

But when I dont check the option "Enable kernel / hardware
acceleration", the installation goes normal.

What would be this Kernel / Hardware Acceleration ?

As u can see, KVM modules are running and my Processor has the flag SVM.

Thanks,
