[libvirt] Bugs when installing Windows XP

Hi, There are 2 bugs (regressions) when installing Windows XP, it can be reproduced with libvirt 0.8.x. After the first installation stage, the machine reboots but: - the CD-ROM is removed, so the second stage asks for the CD-ROM. - if I force the shutdown, the machine reboots. If I force the shutdown again after the reboot the machine shuts off as expected. Thank you, -- Laurent Léonard

This is a virt-manager / virt-install bug. libvirt just does what its told with the CD media.

Libvirt won't ever auto-rebooted when asked to force shutdown, so again I suspect this is virt-install/virt-manager automatically starting the guest again.
