Hi,
I am trying to use x86 machine to create VMs.
But one error occurs.
[root@mcd kvm-test]# virsh create test.xml
error: Failed to create domain from test.xml
error: unknown OS type hvm
My xml file is as the following:

I check kvm module, it is available.
[root@mcd kvm-test]# lsmod |grep kvm
kvm_intel 119308 4
kvm 344876 1 kvm_intel
But I tried the capabilities, it is not right.
There is no guest capabilities.

This problem occurs some times.
When I tried to find this problem, it didn't occur.
Now it occurs again. It's a little strange.
Is there anything I miss?
It may be you're missing some rpm packages installation such as
yajl(yajl-devel) or usbredir.
Maybe you are right.
I get the log from libvirtd.log
2012-06-04 01:43:11.957+0000: 24982: error : virDomainDefParseXML:8458 :

I will have a try to install the rpm packages.
