Hi Daniel,

I am unable to start VM

Lbvirt Version :

Compiled against library: libvir 0.9.13

Using library: libvir 0.9.13

Using API: QEMU 0.9.13

Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.0.0

Here is my command:

LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin HOME=/home/root USER=root LOGNAME=root /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -name new -M ppce500v2 -enable-kvm -m 256 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid eebd22bb-c1db-da23-ca6d-f54c9c23282f -nographic -nodefconfig -nodefaults -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -kernel /boot/uImage-p2020rdb.bin -initrd /home/root/guest.rootfs.ext2.gz -append "root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200" -serial tcp::4444,server,telnet -chardev socket,id=charserial0,host=,port=4444,path=/usr/local/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/new.monitor,server,nowait -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/usr/local/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/new.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb -netdev tap,script=/home/root/qemu-ifup,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:fa:d4:84 -mem-path /var/lib/hugetlbfs/pagesize-4MB -dtb /usr/share/qemu/ppce500v2.dtb

I am able to start VM using above command, but when I convert to xml I unable to start VM
