I have been using Libvirt for several months now and I have only had minimal problems. I had a particular setup and was starting up multiple guests just fine. However, with seemingly no changes I now get the following error when trying to start a guest:
virsh start guest0
error: Failed to start domain guest0
error: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: Supported machines are:
pc Standard PC (alias of pc-0.12)
pc-0.12 Standard PC (default)
pc-0.11 Standard PC, qemu 0.11
pc-0.10 Standard PC, qemu 0.10
isapc ISA-only PC
Apparently, the machine argument settings were changed in recent versions of Libvirt. Or at least that is what it seems. My guest's OS settings were:
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-1.1'>hvm</type>
<boot dev='hd'/>
</os>
After getting this error I tried setting the machine argument to one of the "supported" ones. Then I get this error:
virsh start guest0
error: Failed to start domain guest0
error: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer
Anyone have any ideas as to why this happened all of a sudden? I was not having any problems before.
Thanks,
Shawn
