I'm trying to get Windows 2k3R2 installed. I created an image first
though mkfile and subsequently via qemu-img as suggest in the
documentation and invoked virt install as follows (b99):
# virt-install -n win2k3Server-1 --hvm -r 4096 --vnc \
> -f /files/vdsk/win2k3Server-1.img -s 32 \
> -c /files/images/windows/en_windows_server_2003_with_sp1_standard.iso
Starting install...
virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Device
5632 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found.')
Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start win2k3Server-1'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

This seems to be related to bug #6742735
(http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/printableBug.do?bug_id=6742735)
which was fixed in b99, but I'm still seeing it -or- something like it.
I confirmed that see the code addition in vbd-default suggested in this
thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03371.html.
I'm feeling a little stupid, any suggestions?
