[libvirt] Problems starting XEN HVM with libvirt

[Matthew Donovan <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been having trouble getting a Xen HVM guest started using libvirt.
I've tried Windows Vista, Fedora Core 8, and Fedora Core 6 guests.  Domain 0
is FC 8.  The only guest that starts correctly is the FC 6 guest.  Has
anyone else encountered something like this?  Is there a master list of
guest OS's that libvirt supports?

Thanks
