After upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1; a KVM-QEMU that was originally installed with CentOS 6.0 doesn't start after the upgrade:

virsh # start fsw

libvirrt/qemu log for the VM (domain):

Within the VM's XML definition; of course there is:

<video>
<model type='vmvga' vram='9216' heads='1'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
</video>

Ideally; when using a virtualized 'chipset' would provide better performance; or so that was the intention.

Is anyone else seeing this? Is this intentional to drop support for this or is it a build issue?

Thanks!

My googling is not turning up much, and I'm not a KVM user, but if no help turns up here you might try the CentOS Virtualization mailing list. If you find a solution there please post back here.

Did find this upstream bug. Make sure you have all available updates installed. If it is a new regression it may warrant a new bug report.
