[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#555476: Fails to create hvm domain

[Tom Taylor]

package: virtinst
version: 0.400.0-7

Program fails to create hvm domain with following options as an example:
virt-install --name=torvalds --ram=768 --vcpus=2 --disk
path=/dev/mapper/datavg-torvalds--0 --network=bridge:peth1 --vnc
--vncport=5950 --hvm --cdrom=/pub/iso/windows_2008.iso
--os-type=windows --os-variant=win2k8

With error:
Starting install...
POST operation failed: xend_post: error from xen daemon: (xend.err
'Error creating domain: Creating domain failed: name=torvalds')
Domain installation may not have been
 successful.  If it was, you can restart your domain
 by running 'virsh start torvalds'; otherwise, please
 restart your installation.
