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

Tue Feb 7 13:11:55 UTC 2012

Hi,

I tried (most) of your use flags without any change.

Maybe it's because my CPU is very new and qemu-kvm-1.0-r2 has problem 
with that. Whatever, I'm fine with the 9999 version.

Still needs to get a tutorial how to use vde with virt-install. Can't 
find anything in the net :(

Kind regards,
Felix Blanke
