[libvirt-users] libvirtError: internal error Domain mytest didn't show up

[Chun Tat David Chu]

Problem resolved.

The XML configuration file for my VM is incorrect in /etc/libvirt/qemu
directory.

Apparently it listed two boot devices.

I am not sure how that entry get there but once I removed it now my VM can
boot.
