I think floor versions like this belong in docs/dev/dependencies.md under a new subsection:
## Runtime Dependencies
...FIXME Terraform...
### Libvirt
Versions of QEMU less than 2.4 lack support for `-fw_cfg`, which is required for Ignition.
QEMU 2.4 and later may or may not work, we're currently getting testing in place to check at least some versions.Or something very roughly like that. Thoughts?

Sure we can document that there too. But I did wanted to mention that, if somehow your RHEL install does have qemu version 2.4+, the installer may work.

This just bit me, and it wasn't clear at all that the issue was an older version of QEMU. Instead of spending 20+ mins waiting for images to upload and complete when the QEMU (and other software versions) is too old, it would be nice if the installer would just do some checks to validate that requirements for a successful install have been completed. |
