Unfotunately, my guess was wrong.  If you could run 'cpuid -ir1',
I'll
dig in to that and will identify what we do wrong.

Re: [libvirt-users] Fwd: Haswell 4770 misidentified as Sandy Bridge

I didn't have cpuid installed on my system, but I imagine that libvirt is
using the instruction cpuid, not a userspace program.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Best,
Michael

Re: [libvirt-users] Fwd: Haswell 4770 misidentified as Sandy Bridge

Sorry to blow up everyone's email on this but I tried something new and
found a different problem. I uninstalled all the debian package (libvirt,
kvm, qemu, virt-manager, etc.) and then remade all the packages and
installed them. Haswell again shows up in virt-manager, but now any CPU I
choose including kvm64 and qemu64 give the same error:

root@mal:~# virsh create /etc/libvirt/qemu/debian7-nonsmp.xml
2013-06-19 03:09:42.836+0000: 24248: info : libvirt version: 1.0.6
2013-06-19 03:09:42.836+0000: 24248: warning :
virLogParseDefaultPriority:1581 : Ignoring invalid log level setting
error: Failed to create domain from /etc/libvirt/qemu/debian7-nonsmp.xml
error: internal error Cannot find suitable CPU model for given data

This is using the old "working" xml configuration. I then let
virt-manager
create a new one by installing a new VM using the qcow2 image from before.
If I use the new one created by virt-manager I get the same error. The only
major difference I see in the two xmls is

<os>
    <type arch='x86_64'
machine='pc-i440fx-1.5'>hvm</type>
    <boot dev='hd'/>
</os>

in the new one compared to the old one below.

I'm starting to think I've hosed the whole thing and need to delete
everything, remove with configuration files, and start over.

old, "working" xml
