What virtinst and libvirt version are you using? If you run virtinst with --debug, it will show the generated XML, so you can make sure virtinst is actually building it correctly. If your libvirt version is too old, it might not recognize the virtio options and ignore them. Also, make sure you are actually installing a KVM guest, otherwise virtio won't be added. - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
