I decided to mess around with KVM for the first time today using virt-manager and ran into the exact problem mentioned in this bug. Everything worked by using "virsh -c qemu:///system" and starting the VM. The problem I have is that I can't remount the Windows XP CD to finish the install. Virt-manager gives me the same readonly error when trying to mount the image and I've tried to mount it using the command "virsh -c qemu:///system attach-disk XP /path/to/iso hdc -driver file -type cdrom -mode readonly" and I get "error: No support hdc in command 'attach-disk'". Hdc is the cdrom device listed in virt-manager. I have rebooted and this has not fixed any of the problems. I have not followed Miguel an installed the packages from SID, I am only using Lenny packages.
