dont know why, but doing this fixed it:

virsh shutdown winxp
virsh dumpxml winxp >winxp.xml
Edit winxp.xml adding after the first disk:

  <disk type='file' device='cdrom'>
   <driver name='file' />
   <source file='/export/isos/winxp.iso' />
   <target dev='hdc' />
   <readonly />
  </disk>

Then:

virsh define winxp.xml
virsh start winxp

vncviewer :0


// the iso-file reference was actually already correct in there. using virsh 0.7
regs

hi,

im using a fresh fedora 11 on a 64 bit machine. i've installed the
virt-application, creating a new virtual winxp from an iso file creeps out
telling me its missing the asam file which is on some cd2 or 3...
i tried to burn that iso, but the result is the same.
any ideas?

//i used the same iso file for a virtualbox under ubuntu, that was working
fine.
////since im new to virt-tools, (but use all standard installations, meanig
the official packages), i was wondering if i might setup somethign wrong...
thx
tom
