Unable to install a new Virtual Machine

I am on a SLES12-SP1 Enterprise system.
I installed the hypervisor and tools. Selected the Virtual Machine Manager and then the new virtual machine. Performaed steps 1 to 5.
Step 1 : local install media
Step 2: Sles 12 iso file
Step 3: 1024 MB
1 CPU
Step 4: Create new virtual machine
Enable storage for this machine
6.4 GB
Select managed or other existing storage
Browse select /dev/dasdc1
Finish
Creating - system has crashed.
I am not finding any logs.

SLES12-SP1 has been updated and still unable to create a VM system.
System fails: Unable to complete Install: VM ‘SLES12-SP1-Trial’ didn’t show up after expected time.’
The libvirtd service appeared to be hung so I restarted and reconnected. Started the system and it immediately crashes and loops. Pause system and forced off. The libvirtd status show it could not find a scsi device. I have no scsi devices on the system. Could this be my problem?

SLES12 or SLES12 SP1? I don’t expect it will make any difference but in
case we need to try duplicating.

Is this an existing OCFS2 file system? I wonder if perhaps 6.4GB isn’t
big enough.

Greeting Simon, thank you for your reply. This is a SLES12-SP1 system and I am attempting to make a new virtual image. I reran the process after mounting a 27G LVM volume on /var/lib/libvirt/images and taking the 20G default. The process fails the same way with losing the connection with a timeout where libvirtd appears to hang. I restart libvirtd to regain the connection. The status of libvirtd has an error for a scsi device. I am guessing this is a virtual device. Are there any special device drivers that are required?
