Yes.
It says:

Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-ppc64: -threads: invalid option

Details:

Error starting domain: internal error: process exited while connecting to
monitor: qemu-system-ppc64: -threads: invalid option


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/asyncjob.py", line 89, in cb_wrapper

    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-system-ppc64: -threads: invalid option

I've added:
<qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value='-threads'/>
    <qemu:arg value='8'/>
</qemu:commandline>

to the xml domain.
