virtinst is really just passing this all down to libvirt, which is passing this down to qemu. So I'd really need to know what versions of those you're using. I want to say I vaguely remember seeing something like this a while back.

[Comment 5 Alexandr Tiurin 2013-02-07 22:00:30 UTC]

I use app-emulation/libvirt-0.10.2.1 and app-emulation/qemu-1.1.2-r2.

Re-test with current stable app-emulation/qemu.

Opps, I have not noticed update for qemu. After update works fine. Thanks.
