A few attempts to get XP running under KVM failed. Finally I loaded a fresh Rawhide 64 and was able to load XP using the XP profile.
This VM refuses to run if no CD is in the drive.
The first time I tried mapping a network drive resulted in the Blue Screen of Death. Perhaps SElinux - so no more SELinux.
The Windows ftp program could log in but not get a directory listing.
It turns out the i icon is not for information but also fo modifying the VM. It should have a wrench on it, not the letter i which is Apple territory anyway.
I mapped the Oregon Scientific weather station USB address but the Oregon Scientific application could not see the device. I mapped the upstream usb controller also but to no avail.
No sound but I have not investigated that yet.
Hi,
"Problems with KVM in rawhide" would be a better than "not read for Prime Time", thanks
Please, please, please file bugs rather than disabling SELinux or discounting KVM as "not ready":

Okay, sounds like whatever that problem was is fixed.

Known issue specific to Windows guest installs, we really should fix this for F12:

Why do you think this is related to SELinux?

Strange.

Any errors in /var/log/libvirt/qemu ?
