Just shutdown your current=20 domain and restart it; rebooting from inside the domain (Ctrl-Alt-Del) is n= ot=20 enough, since a new kvm process needs to be forked. > Does anyone have experience with this, or an idea on why I would receive > 'bad file descriptor' errors using the kvm command manually. Perhaps you should switch over to the libvirt-ML.
