Hi,

It appears that your virt-manager is trying to create a pc-i440fx-2.1 machine type,
but your qemu version is 2.0, which only supports up to pc-i440fx-2.0. You should
be able to work around this by manually selecting the pc-i440fx-2.0 or
pc-i440fx-trusty machine type.

The default in virt-manager (we just tested) is pc-i440fx-trusty, so I'm curious
how precisely you created this VM? Did you simply choose all the defaults
when creating a new vm?
