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.
