Hi Jun, I assume you haven't changed libvirt default URI, it may be a issue, I want to know whether it works for you if you explicitly specify --connect qemu:///system with virt-install? I think a root reason probably is your disk image location, the log said it can't find storage volume, if you put img.winp under the /var/lib/libvirt/images, then give a disk absolute path to virt-install, Does it work for you? ok, i change the command a bit, and it went further. here is how i did:
(1) compiled everything from source, then install (make install) to my Ubuntu
(2) start libvirtd on commandline # libvirtd -d
(3) import my KVM image to libvirt
$ virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n winxp -r 800 --accelerate --vnc -v --noautoconsole --import -f /home/jun/img/img.winxp
it failed, and the log is like below:

I took your email as an oppurtunity to write an entry in the new Troubleshooting section of the libvirt wiki. It will explain to you how to solve your problem (*if* this is your problem, of course :-).
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Virtual_network_%27default%27_has_not_been_star... Great, I want to tidy up a doc about this ago, it should be very helpful for a new guys.
Thanks & Regards, Alex
If that ends up not being your problem, please reply to this message, but sending the reply to libvirt-users@redhat.com (I also Cc'ed this message there) rather than to libvir-list@redhat.com. (The former is the official list for user questions about libvirt, whil libvir-list is intended for for people discussing the code.)
i guess perhaps just starting "libvirtd -d" on commandline is not enough. do i need a script to configure and start libvirtd properly for me? and it seems i must configure the virtual network somehow? The "default" network should already be there as part of the stock install.
