 +===== Error while creating vhosts with vmbuilder =====
 +==== Error description ====
 +One opportunity to create a vhost on a KVM host is to use vmbuilder like e.g. so:
 +  vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --suite trusty --flavour virtual --arch i386  \
 +  -o --libvirt qemu:///system
 +In order to use vmbuilder the package ''python-vm-builder'' has to be installed. For more options see the man page of vmbuilder.\\
 +When creating a vhost with vmbuilder the process can terminate with a PCI device error.
 +==== Failure cause ====
 +The error is caused by an Ubuntu specific change to kvm: Ubuntu sets a specific vhost type which is not properly checked by vmbuilder. 
 +==== Solution ====
 +The error is fixed by a patch for libvirt-bin version 1.2.8. Thus updating libvirt-bin to at least version v1.2.8 solves the problem.
