[John Garbutt <John.Garbutt@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it should be as simple as looking at this step:

If you are testing OpenStack in a virtual machine, you need to configure nova to use qemu without KVM and hardware virtualization:
$> echo '--libvirt_type=qemu' | sudo tee -a /etc/nova/nova.conf

And adding "xen" rather than qemu. There may be other required changes that other people know about.

Cheers,
John
