With your self-built libvirt, what does this say: virsh --version=long If it doesn't include 'Hypervisors: Xen', then you didn't have the prerequisite build dependencies in place when you built libvirt, so configure automatically disabled xen. You may also want to check the tail of config.log, where it lists which options were auto-detected. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
