[gentoo-user] [OT] Problems with libvirt / qemu

[Dan Johansson <Dan.Johansson@dmj.nu>]

I know this is of topic, but this is one of the few lists where you mostly get a competent answer.

I have a small problem with libvirt / qemu. I have created a guest (also gentoo) on a gentoo hosts and when I start it from the command-line the guests starts OK, but when I start the guest through libvirt with "virsh start" I get "Booting from Hard Disk...
Boot failed: not a bootable disk
No bootable device"

This is the command-line I use to start the guest (which works)
"cd /var/lib/kvm/Wilmer;  /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm \
        -net nic,vlan=1,model=rtl8139,macaddr=DE:ED:BE:EF:01:03 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=qtap13,script=no,downscript=no \                                                               
        -net nic,vlan=3,model=rtl8139,macaddr=DE:ED:BE:EF:03:03 -net tap,vlan=3,ifname=qtap33,script=no,downscript=no \                                                               
        -m 2048 -k de-ch -vnc :3 -daemonize \                                                                                                                                         
        Wilmer.qcow2"


The libvirt XML-file was created using "virsh domxml-from-native qemu-argv" and this is the result of that conversion:

Anyone seeing something obvious that I have missed?
