Comment 19 for bug 220463

Description of problem:

When installing fedora 9 64bit under KVM, the VM is created and the console
opens, and loads from the DVD, but at the boot: prompt the message "attempted
DOS system call" occurs.

If I select QEMU instead of KVM as the hypervisor, the installation does
continue past the boot: prompt.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libvirt.x86_64 0.4.3-1.fc10 installed
libvirt-python.x86_64 0.4.3-1.fc10 installed
python-virtinst.noarch 0.300.3-7.fc9 installed
virt-manager.x86_64 0.5.4-4.fc9 installed

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create new VM
2. installation source /dev/sr0

Additional info:

N.B I had to install libvirt 0.4.3 from rawhide to work around problem with

libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Timed out while
reading monitor startup output
