[linwenkai]

Source: libvirt
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

  When I run virt-install to install 'kvm', it shows
  `ERROR Host does not support domain type kvm for virtualization type'.
  Here is a transcript:

  root at debian:~# virt-install --name=debian_01 --vcpus=2
  --memory=4096 --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/boot.iso --disk
  /home/dingyu/debian_01.qcow2 --virt-type kvm
  ERROR Host does not support domain type kvm for virtualization
  type 'hvm' arch 'alpha'
  root at debian:~# virt-install --name=debian_02 --vcpus=2
