Hi,
Thanks Kashyap for your answer.
I am trying to give more data:
virt-install invokation:
# virt-install --name eff1 --disk /home/kvmimages/eff1.img --cdrom
/home/kvmimages/Fedora-20-x86_64-DVD.iso --memory 4096
WARNING CDROM media does not print to the text console by default, so
you likely will not see text install output. You might want to use
--location.
Début d'installation...
ERROR internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:

libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.1.3.5-2.fc20.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-1.6.2-6.fc20.x86_64
I adapted your commands to my conf:

L'installation du domaine ne semble pas s'être terminée avec succès.
Si c'est bon, vous pouvez démarrer le domaine en lançant :
virsh --connect qemu:///system start f20vm
sinon, recommencez l'installation.
Always the same Failed to create chardev.
I do think it's a problem of permission as you said, but on which
directory/files?
I am connected as root on my remote server, as simple user on my local
computer. Both are running F20.
When I create/run a F20 VM on my local computer, it's OK. I have
verified rpm versions, seem OK. I have rsynced /etc/libvirt dir from
local computer to remote server.
It works on my local like on yours,but not on my remote. I need the
remote to run VMs.
Thanks for your help.
Patrick

This is an invalid invocation.

I just tested on my Fedora-20 machine, trying to boot a Fedora-19 VM it
works for me:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o preallocation=metadata \
/export/vmimages/f19vm 4G
$ virt-install --name f19vm --disk /export/vmimages/f19vm \
--cdrom /export/Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-19-1.iso \
--memory 2048
Starting install...
Creating domain...
.
.
.
But, I should mention that I'm using virt packages from Rawhide:
$ rpm -q virt-install libvirt-daemon-kvm qemu-system-x86
virt-install-1.0.1-3.fc21.noarch
libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.6-1.fc20.x86_64
qemu-system-x86-2.0.0-1.fc21.x86_64

Ensure you have correct permissions to allow QEMU to access disk images
in your $HOME directory:
$ chmod o+rx $HOME
I guess that should resolve it.
