virt-preview status

[Ján ONDREJ (SAL)]

Hello,

  what is current status of virt-preview for Fedora 12? Looks like current
version does not work for me and there are no latest packages available.
I am looking for these announced packages:
  http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/virt/2010-March/001968.html

With current versions I can't boot from network (PXE boot). This message is
displayed, when trying to boot:

	Cannot boot from non-existent NIC

My guest configuration:

<domain type='kvm'>
  <name>test</name>
  <uuid>b11fca03-0c5d-02ff-f08a-110eadc14d31</uuid>
  <memory>1048576</memory>
  <currentMemory>1048576</currentMemory>
  <vcpu>1</vcpu>
  <os>
    <type arch='i686' machine='pc-0.11'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='network'/>
  </os>
  <features>
    <acpi/>
    <apic/>
    <pae/>
  </features>
 ...
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/>
      <source file='/home/images/test/test.img'/>
      <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x04'
      function='0x0'
    </disk>
    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:86:c4:ec'/>
      <source bridge='vlan242'/>
      <target dev='vnet0'/>  
      <model type='virtio'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00'
slot='0x05'
      function='0x0'
    </interface>
 ...

My vlan242 is UP, after downgrade to Fedora 12 stable packages works again,
but does not work with virt-preview packages.

Virt preview is tracking F-13.  Those packages have not been built for
F-13 yet, and the announcement on this list was for the upstream
release.

Is there a bug for this? It is likely happening in F-13 if it happens
with the current virt-preview packages.  We should track it down.

Thanks
