Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-virtinst
On Kubuntu Hardy running virt-install 0.300.2-0ubuntu5 (both from the
virt-manager GUI and from command line) fails to successfully create a
VM when the OS type is set to unix.
To reproduce the error on the command line with a useful backtrace, use
something like the following command line:
$ sudo virt-install -n pcbsd -r 512 --vcpus=1 -f /home/kai/vm/pcbsd/pcbsd.img
-s 6000 -w bridge:br0 --accelerate --os-type=unix

KeyError: 'virtio_blk'
Same error appears for --os-type=windows and --os-type=other
In the GUI, you notice that when selecting the OS type unix, windows or
other, clicking "forward" on the "Assigning storage space" wizard page
doesn't get you to a new page.
Changing the command line to
$ sudo virt-install -n pcbsd -r 512 --vcpus=1 -f /home/kai/vm/pcbsd/pcbsd.img
-s 6000 -w bridge:br0 --accelerate --os-type=linux
makes it work.
At least for --os-type=windows this used to work some time ago in Hardy
beta, as I did create windows guests before. I have seen numerous
updates to kvm-related packages though, I guess one of them broke this.
