virsh requires arch type

[osallou]

Binary package hint: libvirt-bin

I used virsh to deploy a new VM.
It appears that xml deployment file require the arch type to be set . If not set, the VM cannot be deployed.
Identical deployment file on a CentOS with older virsh version (qemu 0.12, libvirt 0.6) successfuly deployed the same VM with same deployment file.

Original deployment file:
<domain type='kvm'>
 <name>one-14</name>
 <memory>1048576</memory>
 <os>
  <type>hvm</type>
  <boot dev='hd'/>
 </os>
 <devices>
  <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
  <disk type='file' device='disk'>
   <source file='/tmp/disk.0'/>
   <target dev='hda'/>
  </disk>
  <interface type='bridge'>
   <source bridge='br0'/>
   <mac address='00:03:00:00:00:05'/>
  </interface>
 </devices>
 <features>
  <acpi/>
 </features>
</domain>

This config raise the error:
internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm'

Changing:
 <os>
  <type>hvm</type>
To:
 <os>
  <type arch='x86_64' >hvm</type>

fix the issue.
It seems that virsh does not detect the default config to use as before.

I join below system and package configuration:

Seems a config issue, I do not face the problem on another host (identical version).

Issue can be rejected
