Just noted one issue when running i386 appliance on x86_64 host: virt-image descriptor, ovirt-appliance.xml generated by appliance-creator sets domain/boot/arch to i686 which makes create-ovirt-appliance fail with ImageInstallerException: Could not find suitable boot descriptor for this host Workaround is to change in /var/lib/libvirt/images/ovirt-appliance/ovirt-appliance.xml <arch>i686</arch> to <arch>x86_64</arch> and rerun create-ovirt-appliance

If you follow the instructions on the web site you'll get the right arch appliance image for your host since the get-ovirt-appliance script uses uname -i to determine which appliance image to download. The only way you'd get i386 appliance running on x86_64 host would be if you tricked get-ovirt-appliance script by running: setarch i386 get-ovirt-appliance And that's just sneaky :) Perry
