virt-manager has removed the option to set the architecture of the VM to be created, which makes it impossible to install a 32-bit OS in the VM.
I can install 32bit VMs without needing to specify the architecture. I just point at the 32bit installation source. Does this not work for you? There is one exception to the above. os13.2 32bit will not install as a Xen PV guest because it is missing the Xen kernel/initrd on the media found in the /boot location. See bug 906248. Your patch won't fix that problem. You haven't said whether you are using Xen or KVM. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

There is no "32bit installation source".
Really? Then you need to setup a 32 bit network install source or use a 32bit ISO for virt-managers installation wizard and it will work without needing to specify an 'i686' architecture. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
