[libvirt] hvm/x86_64 combination not allowed
I have a VM that I am able to run using qemu form a command prompt
with no problems. I want to run it from within libvirt, so I
converted my qemu command to XML using 'virsh domxml-from-native ...'
My problem is that my libvirt does not seem to support the x86_64
architecture, so when I try to launch the VM, the kernel won't built
since it was installed on x86_64. My os container is as follows (as
imported by virsh):
<os>
<type arch='i686' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
However, when I try to change it to this:
<os>
<type arch='x86_64'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
I get the following message:
error: internal error os type 'hvm' & arch 'x86_64' combination is not
supported
I've searched for a proper command line switch to build this option
into libvirt, but I have not had any success. So how do I get libvirt
to support the x86_64 arch?
Thanks,
Steve
