I've installed nova-compute along with xen and libvirt in a fresh Ubuntu
11.10 install. But I'm experiencing some problems to get it running.

nova-compute service fails to start and nova-compute.log shows this error
message:

Is there anything else I need to do to make Diablo work with Xen? It seems
that openstack is considering Domain-0 an instance. I have a Ubuntu 10.04
configuration that works fine, I've found out that in this configuration
"virsh list" doesn't show Domain-0, so that may be the problem. But for
libvirt showing the Domain-0 vm seems like the correct behaviour,
nova-compute is the one that should ignore it.

I've filed a bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/912701 ) and also a
question ( https://answers.launchpad.net/nova/+question/182917 ), but I've
got no answer yet. This is pretty critical, is there something I can do to
workaround it? I would want to avoid using xenapi directly.
