I've installed Fedora 7, Xen 3.1 (from source), and virt-manager 0.4 (from rpms). The machine is VMX/VT-x capable. I have managed to build and run a paravirtualized Linux guest just fine. Now I want to build an HVM Linux guest, but virt-manager tells me "unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon." I've confirmed that both xend and libvirtd are running.

We're going to need some more information: /var/log/xend/xend.log, /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log, and the libvirt version you are using. Are you using our xen 3.1 package (from Fedora 7) or XenSource's?
