After updating to 5.6 on a server this morning, I can no longer boot two virtual machines. One is trixbox which I believe is a 32bit centos based distro, and the other vm is a 64bit Windows 2008 installation. The error I get in the virt-manager console is FATAL: No bootable device. Both VMs are qcow2 format, and I've checked file permissions. I'm going to boot a live cd in the trixbox vm to see if I can access anything on it's qcow2 disk. Any hints appreciated...

If it says type='raw', change it to type='qcow2' and restart libvirtd. Would that fix the problem ? Akemi

After reading your message, I googled the error and found a webpage that describes a slightly different procedure than yours, but which does the same thing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638708 Everything is working now. :)
