Hi Christian, I am not primarily an ovirt guy, so I hope I am not steering you wrong here, but since I was the one who made the suggestion that you try ovirt, I'll take a swag at it. oVirt requires that KVM be operational on the node, so you may be running up against that requirement if you aren't running nested virt. I have gotten a VM to work as a node, but I did have to make it nested, and my experience with nested KVM is that it still has some rough edges. I have cc'd the ovirt users list as I do not have the experience to help you debug the build failure.
