[libvirt-users] virt-install: "ERROR Host does not support any virtualization options"

[Felix Blanke]

Hi,

you're right, gentoo here :)

Well, qemu-kvm emerged without problems, therefore my masking should be 
correct.
Maybe it's a combination of versions which doesn't work, I don't know.

Right now the virt-install command works. I have some trouble setting up 
a vm using vde. I don't know what to tell --network to use vde. If 
someone has a hint (like an example cmdline for virt-install using vde) 
and would share it with me would be great.

Kind regards,
Felix Blanke
