Distribution specific test results
In 'Arch' column use

- 32-on-32 for i686 guest on i686 host - 32-on-64 for i686 guest on x86_64 host - 64-on-64 for x86_64 guest on x86_64 host - 64-on-32 for x86_64 guest on i686 host (plain QEMU emulation, no KVM)

Please indicate whether using 'qemu' or 'kvm'. virt-manager defaults to kvm, except in 64-on-32). virt-install defaults to qemu unles the --accelerate flag is given. You can verify by running 'virsh dumpxml GUEST' and looking at top level  element
