Thanks Marton for the advice. I actually already had the libvirt_type=qemu, and since I did not have '--' before any of the lines in nova conf, I added that before the libvirt_type line. Then, I rebooted the VM and started rejoin-stack.sh to start the services again. But now when I launch an instance I get status: Error , Task: Spawning and Power State: no State.

Any other thoughts as to what might be wrong ?
(The log for the instance says : "Unable to get log for instance "90bf00e8-6ece-4978-aa16-1b68f34bf44e"."   Possibly because machine never went up ?)

Thanks,
Salman
