Description Jon Taylor 2013-05-20 01:17:59 UTC 
Hi,

libvirt is 1.0.5, lxc is 0.8.1-r1.  Arch is amd64.

I am attempting to start a simple test container with the following XML:

<domain type='lxc'>
<name>helloworld</name>
<memory>102400</memory>
<os>
<type>exe</type>
<init>/bin/sh</init>
</os>
<devices>
<console type='pty'/>
</devices>
</domain>

This worked on libvirt 1.0.3, but after anmasking and upgrading to 1.0.5, I get this:
error: Failed to start domain helloworld
error: internal error guest failed to start: 2013-05-19 18:04:34.592+0000: 20872: info : libvirt version: 1.0.5
2013-05-19 18:04:34.592+0000: 20872: error : virLXCControllerSetupConsoles:1303 : Failed to allocate tty: Bad address
Failed to allocate tty: Bad address

This should be fixed in 1.0.5.1 or newer.
