[Bug 850309] [NEW] libvirt fails to autostart VM attached to a bridged port

[Robert Lange]

Public bug reported:

I have assigned my eth0 as the sole bridge port on bridge device br0.  I
have my VMs set to connect to br0.  When I manually start them,
everything works well.  I have set one VM to autostart on bootup, but it
fails.

I found bug #495394, particularly comment 49 to be what I see happening.
In that bug, the person who wrote comment 49 was told to file a new bug
report, but it seems he did not do that.  I am now filing the report.

Attached is a syslog snippet that shows autostart failing.
