Hey, I narrowed the config file down to: emerson3 3ffcff461be5cef1ff45ffe1bb71b17a 2095104 and I still get the very same error. Maybe a missing tag??

Unfortunately libvirt doesn't give any context for the error, so the only way to diagnose it will be to remove sections of the XML until it works, thus narrowing it down to some particular place.

The problem is that the needed drivers are not in the initrd file. Now I know what the problem is but "fixing" it will need some thought. I knew it was something stupid on my part. Thanks again.

Another suggestion (from Matt Booth who's not subscribed to this list): Is the right SCSI driver available in the initrd? You should be able to find out what driver(s) are in the guest's initrd using virt-inspector.

We just support whatever qemu / qemu-img supports, so I suggest trying to do a conversion using qemu-img (see my previous posting).
