# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm10 -r 512 --vcpus=2 -f /vm/vm10.qcow2 -s 12 -c /vm/windowsXP.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type windows --os-variant winxp --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm

/vm/vm10.qcow2 is there. All 12gb of it.

I have come to the conclusion that KVM doesn't want to be installed on Fedora13-x86_64

1. do you have access to qemu:///system ?
2. If this is your localhost, why use this option at all?
3. "-f /vm/vm10.qcow2" does the path exist, and do you have permissions?
also, try "--disk path=/vm/vm10.qcow2" instead


and in general, read the virt-install manpage, it's very easy to understand
