CentOS 6.6 KVM Windows 7 Pro VM Device USB 04e8:6860
I have a CentOS 6.6 system running KVM with a Win 7 Pro VM. Over the weekend I was playing around with the VM trying to get it to see my Samsung Note 4. Apparently I removed the phone without removing the hardware from the VM. Now the VM will not start because Device USB
0438:6860 is not there. I tried to remove the hardware from the VM using virt-manager but that does not remove the error message and the VM will still not start. I did manage to get the phone to be recognized as Device USB 04e8:6860 at one point but then the VM would not start because the Device was “already in use.” I presently seem to have the VM
in a state where the phone is now Device USB 04e8:6865 but the VM will not start because of the missing USB 04e8:6860. A Google search did not seem to provide anything useful.
Is there anyway to get this VM to start … for example can I tell it to ignore the USB device? Can I somehow manually remove Device 04e8:6860? I
cannot believe I have to re-install just because of a missing USB device.
Thanks for any help.

When I had a similar problem with an XP VM, there was an entry for the device in a .save file in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/save/

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Removing the .save file there fixed the issue.
