[fedora-virt] Trouble with virt-install using F-12 and virt-preview repository

[James Laska]

Greetings,

I'm running into some difficulty creating virt guests using virt-install
from the F-12 fedora-virt repository [1].  It seems every attempt to
create a guest results in the following failure (complete log available
at http://pastie.org/811118).

        # virt-install --name RATS --ram 768 --vcpus 1 --os-type linux
        --os-variant fedora13  --extra-args  "vnc serial console=ttyS0
        ksdevice=link ip=dhcp lang=en keymap=us
        stage2=http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/rawhide-testing/i386/os/images/install.img repo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os" --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/RATS.img,size=8,sparse=false,bus=scsi --network network=default --accelerate --nographics --location http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/rawhide-testing/i386/os

        ERROR    internal error unable to start guest: char device redirected to /dev/pts/5
        Warning: vlan 0 with no nics
        qemu: could not load kernel '/var/lib/libvirt/boot/virtinst-vmlinuz.V7r0mj': Permission denied

The traceback seems similar to an already resolved issue in bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537221#c1).  Should I
reopen the reported issue, or does this look like something now?

Thanks,
James
