I'm evaluating different virtualization solutions. I decided to go with KVM over Xen. Unfortunately, now I can't create any KVM virtual machines via libvirt.

jonathanfisher@blockparty /usr/share/qemu $ sudo virt-install --name=pfsense --arch=x86_64 --vcpus=3 --ram=1024 --os-type=unix --connect qemu:///system --virt-type kvm --hvm --accelerate --vnc --noautoconsole --keymap=us --os-type=unix --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/pfsense-disk1.qcow2 -w bridge:wan0 -w bridge:lan0 -v --os-variant=freebsd7 --boot hd

Starting install... ERROR internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/11 Could not open option rom 'pxe-ne2k_pci.rom': No such file or directory Could not read keymap file: 'en-us'

Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start pfsense otherwise, please restart your installation.

What's funny is the files are present:

jonathanfisher@blockparty /usr/share/qemu $ ls bios.bin linuxboot.bin pxe-e1000.rom pxe-pcnet32.rom pxe-virtio.rom vapic.bin
vgabios-cirrus.bin vgabios-stdvga.bin keymaps multiboot.bin pxe-ne2k_isa.rom pxe-rtl8139.rom qemu-linaro vgabios.bin vgabios-qxl.bin vgabios-vmware.bin

I'm probably just missing a symlink somewhere... this can't be that hard to fix. Any ideas? Just need to be pointed in the right direction. Thank you!

Not sure what what was wrong, but this finally fixed it.

sudo aptitude purge virtinst virt-viewer python-libvirt libvirt0 libvirt-bin

Then I went around /etc /usr/share /var/lib /var/log and cleaned up anything related to qemu, kvm, etc.

after that, I just reinstalled:

sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst bridge-utils

And I was good to go.
