[Discuss] Qemu PPC with Virt-Manager

Hello, 
I'm trying to get a get a Linux PowerPC distribution running with Qemu and I'm getting an error that Google has been unable to resolve. Virt-manager is giving me this error: 


Unable to complete install: 'internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/18 
Error: Cirrus VGA not available 
' 

Traceback (most recent call last):

if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateLinux() failed', conn=self) 
libvirtError: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: char device redirected to /dev/pts/18 
Error: Cirrus VGA not available 

My h ost OS is Debian Wheezy and the g uest OS will be Debian Jessie (if I can get past this error). I have installed qemu, qemu-kvm, and virt-manager. With that said, qemu-kvm is off so I can emulate non-x86 architectures. I am running virt-manager with sudo. 

Does anyone have any thoughts? 

Thanks, 

Anthony
