Public bug reported:
I just got 1:2.6.1+dfsg-0ubuntu3. Now, when starting some of my VMs-
laney@nightingale> virsh start xenial-vm
error: Failed to start domain xenial-vm
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
2016-09-21T12:20:27.252537Z qemu-system-x86_64: -enable-kvm: unsupported
machine type
Use -machine help to list supported machines
It's because the configuration has
<os>
<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc-i440fx-wily'>hvm</type>
</os>
(I created the VM on a system which didn't know about xenial at the
time). Fixing it to xenial there works.
However, this took some effort to work out - as you can see the error
message is particularly cryptic. In fact I was using virt-manager to
launch it, but that just prints the same message.
Is it possible to deal with this somehow? Like by restoring the old
releases, migrating VMs to a newer one, or at least printing a better
message.
