Hi,

I am getting following 'qemu: could not load kernel' error while trying to 
create a new VM using virt-install or virt-manager. The software versions are 
as follows: CentOS 6.2,  Libvirt 0.9.4,  qemu-kvm 2:0.12.1.2-2.209.el6_2.1. 

The qemu.conf has disabled dynamic_ownership setting.  The VM instantiation has 
worked fine before when dynamic_ownership was enabled (default). So is this 
error related to dynamic ownership being disabled? I appreciate any help on how 
to debug this error further. 

Also, is there any documentation on why/when dynamic_ownership setting should 
be used? We have enabled it to figure this out through some test installs but 
right now unable to move further with the install step itself. 

{{{
virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
-n $guestname \
-r 512 \
--vcpus=1 \
--os-type=linux \
--os-variant=rhel6 \
--accelerate \
--graphics vnc,keymap=en-us \
-v \
-w bridge:br1 \
--disk path=$datastore/$guestname.img,size=40 \
-l $repo \
-x "ks=$ksurl/$ksfile ksdevice=eth0 ip=$guestip netmask=$netmask 
nameserver=$nameserver gateway=$gw"
}}}
