Hello all,

I've hit a very strange behaviour using the Virtual Machine Manager GUI 
on SL6.1.  The problem started after upgrading from 6.0.

When adding a new guest OS, I get through to the last step but the 
display literally says "Ready to begin installation of foobar" instead 
of the name I specified, and the 5 lines which display the OS, Install, 
Memory, CPUs and Storage information simply contain the word "label". 
Very strange.

FYI, I always create the storage as raw disks rather than 
filesystem-in-a-file, by manually specifying  /dev/md/md_dXX  as the 
RAID device to use.  This is how all the earlier VMs were created on 
SL6.0.   I have checked file permissions and ownership in all of the 
QEMU/KVM related places and they all seem correct.  This is a production 
machine so I can't just re-install QEMU/KVM.

I can create a VM manually by cloning an existing XML file and changing 
its name, UUID and storage path, etc, so the problem seems to be in the 
Manager.  I haven't ventured into the CLI mode of creating a VM from 
scratch.

Has anyone else encountered this behaviour?

Thanks,
Chuck
