The kernel is 2.6.34.7-66.fc13.x86_64 The qemu-kvm.x86_64 package is at 2:0.12.5-1.fc13 The libvirt.x86_64 package is 0.8.2-1.fc13 > What is the libvirt XML for the guest? The Fedora 11 install crashed the system, but the XML was generated and the VM is showing in virt-manager. I have appended that XML file from /etc/libvirt/qemu at the end of this email. > What sort of hardware is this? (KVM capable?) Yes. KVM capable and configured in BIOS.

The host file system where the OS resides is running Ext4. However, the system has a 3ware 9650SE-8LPML with 3 RAID 1 pairs. So a couple of the older data volumes are Ext3, but the majority are Ext4. The VMs are setup in their own 20GB host LVM volume, in which they use LVM, which I believe are all Ext4. > Rich. Thank you for the help.
