After you specify the ISO medium and the VM OS type, version, and an LVM volume, it starts to boot, you select the Install option and then it crashes.  Has anyone else seen this?  I might expect a failure to create a VM, but not to crash the entire host OS.  The host has had over 5 VMs and never had a problem.

It looked like it was going to succeed, but then crashed the host after it had installed all the packages for the new VM and was in the process of rebooting.  So now I feel something is corrupted.  I have created F11 hosts under F11 previously.  Thank you for any information on resolving this.

Yes.  The F11 install crashed which looked like it was going to work and had previously worked under F11 (prior to upgrading the host).

The kernel is 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.x86_64
The qemu.x86_64 package is at 2:0.12.5-1.fc13

Thank you for the help.
