I do not agree with you here.I have used KVM and virt-manager also and virt-manager  gives an option to 

install a PV guest or HVM guest and they use the same ISO which one downloads from the vendors site.

That's wrong . I guess 

Even I feel it to be wrong. 

Have 

1. (xend-unix-server yes) present in  /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp

yes this is there 

2. export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=”xen:///”

this is also there. 

verify virsh version.

 

I rechecked it and it is the same version of virsh as I mentioned.

Try virt-install command line utility.

virt-install -n LucidPVG -r 512 --paravirt --vnc -f /dev/sda9 -c /home/tapas/Documents/ISO\'s/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso --debug

For some reason or the other all this is failing.

I checked the ISO above and in Virtual Box I was able to use the same ISO to create guest but for Xen things did not worked.

My system is 64 bit non VT.

I checked a guide of yours here

http://bderzhavets.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/setup-libvirt-0-8-0-xen-4-0-on-top-of-ubuntu-10-04-server-via-daniel-baumann-virtualization-ppa/

where at the last you mention virsh version on your blog which shows using Xen 

in my case it is the same thing that I mentioned.

I had installed via 

aptitude install ubuntu-virt-server

aptitude install ubuntu-virt-mgmt

but I do not have in my sources Daniel Baumans PPA which you used.

Let me know if we need to dig any thing more on my machine.

I feel creating a PV guest on a PV-Dom0 should not be that difficult.

I am just trying to create a Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit PV guest on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit Desktop

which is a non VT hardware.
