If you recompile libguestfs from source then it will detect this qemu problem at ./configure time and add some code to work around it. However the binaries on the website weren't compiled this way. In Fedora we patch around many qemu bugs, so it's worth keeping an eye on our qemu packages:  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=qemu.git Here is the patch you need to qemu 0.15 which fixes the above bug:  http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=qemu.git;a=blob;f=qemu-Allow-to-leave-type-on-default-in-machine.patch;h=e4a8e6ddc6ce825517836c8d595c06584c3126f0;hb=refs/heads/f16 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.  Tiny program with many powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc. http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-top
