Here's the procedure:
# qemu-img -f qcow2 /vm/win2k3.img 8G
# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n win2k3 -r 512 --vcpus=1 -c /home/temp/win2003sp2ins.iso -f /vm/win2k3.img -s 4
--network=bridge:br0 --mac=00:ff:ff:ff:58:58 --noautoconsole --vnc --os-type=windows --os-variant=win2k3 --hvm --accelerate
And I get error as below:
Starting install...
internal error unable to start guest: qemu: could not open disk image /vm/win2k3.img
Domain installation may not have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start win2k3'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.

any idea?

Do you have selinux enabled ? As far as I know the location for images
is restricted to /var/lib/libvirt/images by default.

Or does the actual disk image exist at /vm/win2k3.img with r/w access to
whoever is running the virt-install command?
Does the /vm directory exist and does the user have permissions to
access it?
