[libvirt-users] CPU Model detection with virsh capabilities

Hello everybody, I am a new user discovering libvirt with KVM software. During my first VM creation, I saw an issue with virsh that I can't understand. I wanted to emulate another CPU than the classical qemu32 using virsh. So I used the virsh capabilites command to detect how is detected my CPU host which is an Intel Xeon E5410 and my problem is that this CPU is detected only with the cpumodel "pentium3". But if use the kvm -cpu ? command, it returns me the following capabilities : $ kvm -cpu ? x86 qemu64 x86 phenom x86 core2duo x86 kvm64 x86 qemu32 x86 coreduo x86 486 x86 pentium x86 pentium2 x86 pentium3 x86 athlon x86 n270 Moreover, if i decide to use the pentium3 cpumodel for my KVM VM, the CentOS freeze during its loading. My libvirt and kvm are the following on a Debian Squeeeze : $ virsh version Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.3 Using library: libvir 0.8.3 Using API: QEMU 0.8.3 Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.12.5 Does anybody already had the same issue or am I doing anything wrong ? Thanks for your answers Regards, Olivier BONHOMME
