(that's what I have on my F18 machine -- libvirt-0.10.2-3.fc18.x86_64, qemu-kvm-1.2.0-11.fc18.x86_64) ? That's the machine type I have. # grep machine /etc/libvirt/qemu/f17jeos-3.xml <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-1.2'>hvm</type> From the looks of it, I guess you have a fairly older versions of qemu-kvm?(or whatever your distro calls the binary as?) > > Thanks, > Shawn > > -- > Virginia Tech > Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering > B.S.
