[Swan-dev] problem on new testing machine

I'm setting up testing Fedora 28 machine.  I've followed all the 
instructions.

An interesting glitch: my PC's firmware settings dissabled multiple cores 
and virtualization features.  I discovered that partway into a make 
kvm-install.

After fixing that, I have not been able to get make kvm-install to work.  
Even after a make kvm-purge.

Any suggestions?

Why would qemy close a monitor?

Why is Domain id=1 tainted?

Here's how it fails:


sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system \
	--name=swanfedora28base \
	--os-variant fedora26 \
	--vcpus=1 \
	--memory 1024 \
