I thought I remembered trying virt-install with libvirt and having success. Pasik, did you try this? If virt-manager really doesn't work with libxl, then yes, we should probably sort that out one way or another. I'd really like to be able to leave xend off, to make sure people are starting to think about migration; but if there's no way to get virt-manager to work without it, we'll just have to turn xend back on and see what we can do. > I thought maybe a new kernel as well, but based on this: Yes, updating to a new kernel (probably 3.14) is my next big work item. -George
