Until I pushed the patches from Victor yesterday, libvirt GIT was
broken when used against QEMU GIT. The effect was that libvirt
could not detect any QEMU binaries. So if you're using latest QEMU
GIT that might be what you've hit.
No, not the latest ... qemu-1.0.1-2.fc17.
But, this problem is getting more than a bit strange.
I have two systems which are pretty near identical (one id AMD-6-core
and the other is AMD-8-core). They have the same kernel, the same
libvirt, qemu, virt-manager, kernel, dnsmasq.
The "problem system" only has the RTR-ADVERT problem with one network
definition! [IPv4 with DHCP and IPv6 with SLAAC]. Destroy that network
and start another with different addresses but the same specification
and no problems. The is one difference I need to check ... the problem
network is autostarted.
I just installed the libvirt version that has a problem with qemu. I did
not bother trying virt-manage since I just noticed a bunch of really
strange syslog messages from libvirtd "unknown OS type hvm" so I
downgraded back to something that works.
The last update I have listed in the git-log is
b7aba48bcaf315c27430a7d0edf8ff702d293527 and that one changed
src/conf/domain_conf.c.
I am going to give two things a try:
1. Back off the top few commits that hist domain stuff and
2. Try do a pull to update my copy of libvirt's git.
About the only thing I am sure of is I believe that the three patches I
submitted and Laine's three patches for bind-dynamic are not the problem
... they are also applied to the version that works and only deal with
network stuff.
