Package: libvirt0
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I get this error message when I try to create a new full virtualized machine 
with Virt-manager : 

Unable to complete install: 'virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation 
failed: (xend.err 'Error creating domain: Kernel image does not 
exist: /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader')'

Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> 
virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Error 
creating domain: Kernel image does not exist: /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/create.py", line 651, in 
do_install
    dom = guest.start_install(False, meter = meter)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/virtinst/Guest.py", line 895, in 
start_install
    return self._do_install(consolecb, meter)
  File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/virtinst/Guest.py", line 916, in 
_do_install
    self.domain = self.conn.createLinux(install_xml, 0)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 833, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', 
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed POST operation failed: 
(xend.err 'Error creating domain: Kernel image does not 
exist: /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader')
'

The path /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader seems to be inexistant in Debian Lenny 
Xen packaging. I didn't find the string "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" in the 
virt-manager package so I suppose the problem comes from libvirt. 

With a "cd /usr/lib && ln -s xen-default xen" it corrects the problem.
