I thought I could use : $virsh # attach-disk merdoz ~/virtio-win-0.1-30.iso hdc --type cdrom

But it doesn't work either, as virsh # list returns NO domain. Weird, as the following command seems Ok:

[gabx@magnolia:~]$ virsh --connect qemu:///system start merdoz Domain merdoz started

So I can't understand why domain merdoz is started and NOT listed with virsh

Hey,

well this is a problem of wrong usage. When looking in the man page of virsh you'll recognize that list will list all *running* domains, but merdoz is probably not running.

Just use list --all to see all domains.

Cheers!

You are perfectly right, merdoz is not running. I finally managed after one day to install win7. The needed vitrio driver was indeed virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd, and adding this line to virt-install did the trick: --disk path=~/isofiles/virtio-win-1.1.16.vfd,device=floppy And now a beautiful merdoz7 is finishing installing! All this for a win7 VM...pppfffff
