During testing libvirt autotest on RHEL5 xen host, installation of both PV and HVM guest failed with error:

VMDeadError: VM is dead reason: Domain vm1 is inactive detail: 'shut off'

This is caused missing confirmation of installation end. b76ff502 uses for finish confirmation serial console instead of network. However, RHEL5 virt-install does not support -serial parameter so serial is not configured in way needed to successful confirmation.
