It was crashing with the most basic XML config file.

Yes, I have a vcpu section, where I have limited it to four of the eight, and it still crashes. >> despite there being 7 processors? > > You have 8 CPU (#0 -> #7) Oops, yes, meant 8. My point there was, however, that the "cpu cores" field from /proc/cpuinfo indicates "1", not "4" as it does on the host, even when I make more than 1 core available to the guest. Thanks again, Alex
