[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#499720: [virt-manager] Timout error message when installing a VM from a physical optical drive

[Laurent Léonard]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.5.4-4
Severity: minor

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When I tried to install a KVM virtual machine from a physical optical drive 
(no problem with an ISO image), I got this timeout error message : 
"Impossible de finir l'installation : « virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal 
error Timed out while reading monitor startup output »

Unable to complete install '<class 'libvirt.libvirtError'> 
virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Timed out while reading monitor 
startup output
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 841, in createLinux
    if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', 
conn=self)
libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed internal error Timed out while 
reading monitor startup output"

At this moment I can ear the CD-ROM turns in the laptop's optical drive and I 
can launch again the installation without problem.
