New libvirt uses the -drive argument, hence why you see it the problem with newer libvirt.

Previously when I used the latest libvirt for f9, I got the error "libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output" I was able to install libvirt.0.4.3-1.fc10 to work around this, after which I discovered the "DOS system call" error Now I have installed libvirt-0.4.4-2.fc9 I one again get the "libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Timed out while reading monitor startup output" error, so it doesn't get far enough to attempt to boot from CD. If I remember correctly the fix in libvirt.0.4.3-1.fc10 was related to something overwriting file descriptors?

Yes I will open a new ticket, the reason I hadn't opened one previously was because I was hoping that once libvirt-0.4.3-x or later was available for f9, it would include the fix I knew was already in rawhide ...

Most likely whatever mirror you are using doesn't yet have this in updates or updates-testing (I can't remember at the moment where it is). It might be best to point directly at the main fedora site for this update, and then switch back to your local mirror.
