Hi I am trying to create a virtual machine and install Windows XP. I am using Fedora 11.The system was last fully patched about an hour ago.
selinux is disabled.
root@pc32 ~]# uname -a Linux x.com 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 17:16:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
When booting the virtual machine for the first time, the VM hangs with: "Booting from hard disk". Nothing else appears.
When I shutdown the VM /var/log/messages has: Sep 2 03:42:44 pc32 libvirtd: 03:42:44.714: error : operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation
... and a dialogue box appears with the same message: here is the trace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 507, in shutdown_domain vm.shutdown() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 566, in shutdown self._update_status() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 217, in _update_status info = self.vm.info() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 523, in info if ret is None: raise libvirtError ('virDomainGetInfo() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: operation failed: could not query memory balloon allocation

You best bet is the virt-list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-virt

I suspect from your output that you are using virt-manager. You might try just doing the creation from command line and see if creating the image and running kvm from cli works. That will help localize the part not working.
I have no problems running that way.
