Hello Sandro,

Having been wholely unsuccessful in getting even the latest master
snapshot drivers to work, I applied the following PR from github to
my environment and everything installed cleanly.

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-hosted-engine-setup/pull/331

That PR was closed last week without being applied.  I have added
some comments describing my experiences with this approach for you
to consider.  I am happy to try any alternative solutions, but so
far this is the only one that has worked on my server.

Regards,

Glenn Marcy
