Hi Christoph,

Thank you!

A trip over to "virsh edit KVM-FC16-x32" (first forgetting I
could not use VI directly), I changed my vcpu you yours

     <vcpu>1</vcpu>

And, my arch to yours

     <type arch='x86_64'

no joy.

But noticing you had no <cpu></cpu> section, I erased my whole
(the cpu section), and that fixed it.

Thank you so much for the help!
