[virt-tools-list] Can't select partition when creating VirtualMachine

[Paul Dufresne]

I was finally able to install my Virtual Machine on a physical partition,
but I was unable to get it to boot from that partition. I eventually
manipulated the storage in the virtual machine manager prior to creating the
host. I was able to install, but am still unable to boot.

 

Any thoughts?

Hey guys,

 

I originally posted this on Fedora Forums, but it was suggested that I post
this here. I consider myself to be an expert PC user, but not an expert
Linux user. Anyway, here is the original post:

 

"I'm installing WindowsXP as a virtual machine on Fedora 11, but the screens
in the Virtual Machine Manager don't match those in the help file. I want to
use an actual partition instead of an image file, but it isn't offered as an
option.

Do I have the wrong version of QEMU or the Virtual Machine Manager? I just
installed them today, so they're from the FC11 packages.

Also, to get the OS to install, I had to use generic machine rather than
specifying the OS. I'm not sure why."

 

ThanX
