It should be stored in '/var/log/libvirt/qemu/fc18guest5.log'. If
there's nothing related, look for errors in '/var/log/libvirt/libvirtd.log'.

I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that there is a
newline between '-device' and 'scsi-cd'. That's just debug output of
virt-install.

Command 'virsh list' (by default) lists only running domains, try adding
'--all' as a parameter.
