I am still experiencing the disappearance of the CD-ROM after a reboot, even after testing in Rawhide. As well SELinux blocks the creation of a VM.

Description of problem:

I have reported a few bugs over the use of virt-manager.

1) Bug 464829 - Virtual Machine CD-ROM disappears on its own - kvm virt-manager
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464829
Solution: Upgrade to virtinst-0.400.0

2) Bug 467896 - Cannot create virtual machine in virt-manager 0.6.0-2
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467896
Solution: Upgrade to python-virtinst-0.400.0-3.fc10

Now I am experiencing an issue where SELinux is not allowing me to create a VM unless it is turned off.

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

Fedora release 9.92 (Rawhide)
Linux Kernel 2.6.27.3-27.rc1.fc10.i686

virt-manager-0.6.0-2.fc10.i386
libvirt-0.4.6-3.fc10.i386
kvm-74-4.fc10.i386
qemu-0.9.1-10.fc10.i386
python-virtinst-0.400.0-3.fc10.noarch

Steps to Reproduce:
$ virt-manager
(Enter Password)
New VM - Default/ WinXP/4G HDD/512RAM/1CPU
OK -> Error: SELinux blocks the VM from being created

Actual results:

SELinux interrupts the creation of the VM. Turning off the SELinux enforcement by running the following command:

# setenforce Permissive

Afterwards, the installation of XP from the CD-ROM works until the second portion of the installation where the CD-ROM disconnected itself and is no longer able to reconnect.

Expected results:

-SELinux should not block the action of creating a VM

-CD-ROM should be statically set to the machine. This is still a bug.
