I recently updated for libvirt 0.4.6 to libvirt 0.6.0. Now several of the
virtual machines I defined, are not shown in virt-manager nor by virsh
list --all, although the config files are still in /etc/libvirt/qemu. I
tried to run virsh create, and this error is shown:
libvir: Domain Config error : internal error os type 'hvm' & arch
'i686'
combination is not supported
This configuration was working perfectly with libvirt 0.4.6. I needed to
change i686 to x86_64 in all config files of 32 bit systems to make them
work again. Is there no way libvirt could migrate those configuration
files automatically?

What does 'virsh capabilities' show for your host on 0.6.0 ?

This shows you haven't got the 32-bit emulator /usr/bin/qemu installed
which is why its not recognising the i686 arch as valid.

This shows you haven't got the 32-bit emulator /usr/bin/qemu installed

In the past, I have always had KVM installed and not qemu, and this
sufficed to configure i686 hosts with virt-manager and run them.
So now it seems I need to change either i686 to x86_64 in the
configuration files, either I need to have plain qemu installed. Why is
this needed now?

In the past, I have always had KVM installed and not qemu, and this

Actually, installing qemu breaks running x86_64 hosts. virt-manager only
gives "internal error starting the virtual machine" or something like
that. Could it be that libvirt expects kvm and qemu executables to be
named differently then they are on Mandriva?
Actually I'm even suprised by the above capabilities output when I only
had kvm installed: there was not even a /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
binary on my system when I ran that command.
