Well, I did not create anything like that explicitly for sure.. All I
did is using virt-install.

Let me check.

[xen at ghoul3 libvirt.git]$ sudo ./run tools/virsh dumpxml debian_32
<domain type='xen'>
  <name>debian_32</name>

  </devices>
</domain>

No, I apparently don't have anything like that. So, whose bug is this?
libvirt or virt-install?

As an aside, I'm sure as hell I've seen this working at some point...
weird. :-/

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
