[Xen-users] Xen on Ubuntu 11.10 fails to start guests

[Jordan Tomkinson <jordan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to use xen on our office workstations which are all Ubuntu 11.10 x64

I install xen, libvirt and virt-manager packages from the ubuntu repository but when I try to start a guest i get the following error

interesting through this only affects ubuntu guests - centos guests seem to work just fine (both guests are being installed as paravirt.)
