hi.
i want to install windows 8 in an hvm (so i can update it).
but somehow i can't start the vm with an iso. (see output below)

domain 'w8'

what am i doing wrong?
i tried different isos, but the error is the same.
i get the same error, if i try to attach a nonexistent file. (but starting
the vm without an iso works (the vm starts and then shuts down, since there
is no bootable medium))

any idea how i can fix this?

Are you sure the path is correct? If so, check
/var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log for more details.

i am pretty sure the path is correct:

[user@data ~]$ ls -l /home/user/w8.iso
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 3758010368 Sep 16  2013 /home/user/w8.iso

in libxl-driver.log are more details, but nothing i understand
