Re: Importing kvm vm

Try this for a starting point

<domain type='kvm'>
  <name>My WinXP</name>
  <memory>2048000</memory>
  <currentMemory>2048000</currentMemory>
  <vcpu>2</vcpu>
  <os>
    <type arch='i686'>hvm</type>
  </os>
  <features>
    <acpi/>
    <pae/>
  </features>
  <clock offset='utc'/>
  <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff>
  <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot>
  <on_crash>destroy</on_crash>
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
    <disk type='file' device='disk'>
      <source file='/some/path/to/mywinxp.qcow2'/>
      <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
    </disk>
    <interface type='user'>
      <mac address='00:00:00:00:00:00'/>
    </interface>
    <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/>
    <graphics type='sdl'/>
  </devices>
</domain>

Thanks a lot, that worked.  For what it is worth I tried a couple 

different versions of virt-install and they didn't work for different 

reasons that have already been reported.  It would be awesome if 

virt-manager could provide and "import" capability someday.  Keep up the 

good work.
