No X anywhere in my environment <smile>.  Somehow I normally manage!

Actually that command errors out:

/virsh # iface-list
error: Failed to list active interfaces
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver: 
virConnectNumOfInterfaces/

My XML had the type wrong, setting it to raw.

Alas, I still see the invoked KVM being passed:

/-drive 
file=/kvms/test1.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=qcow2 /

The "if=none" is the problem, it needs to be "if=virtio".  KVM is also 
still being passed the "-S" flag as its first parameter, so the CPUs are 
not starting.

At this point, I'm just editing the XML, its easier.  Once I get one 
working, I can tweak for the others.  Virt-install at least got me started.
