Re: [libvirt-users] How to install libvirt 0.9.4 RPM on Fedora 14?
Hi,
If i remember correctly you'll also need to update xen-libs and qemu in
order to use virtio disks. Since libvirt does not correctly passes the
argument to qemu. Instead of disk=...,if=virtio it passes
disk=...,if=none. With older versions of qemu (< 0.15.x) this will lead
to non booting vm's when using virtio.

Soeren

libvirt-0.9.4 uses netcf APIs that were added in netcf-0.1.9. I had made
Fedora 14 and Fedora 15 builds of netcf-0.1.9 last month, but forgot to
push them to stable (and they weren't autopushed because nobody gave
them karma). I just did this now, so as long as you have the updates
repo turned on, sometime later today you should be able to "yum update"
and get the version of netcf you need to run libvirt-0.9.4.
I'm not sure what the deal is with the version of xen-libs. My F14 box
(which has updates, updates-testing, and virt-preview repos all enabled)
has xen-libs-4.0.2, which seems to be new enough to build and install
the newest libvirt, but it looks like it doesn't have that file (or else
I'm looking in the wrong place).
