We've been getting bug reports like the above against virt-manager for a while now: installing new VMs consistently throws an error 'Timed out while reading monitor startup output'. The user can then just retry the install and it will go off without a hitch.
I only just realized that the common thread between the reports is physical install media: apparently the qemu monitor isn't too responsive while it's waiting for a cold cd drive to spin up.
The attached patch jacks up the timeout from 3 seconds to 10 seconds when doing the initial monitor read. I verified that this fixes the issue.
ACK, seems reasonable, although it'll block the caller for longer, this is best option with way we currently handle startup.
