hi,
Just moved to b98 from b95. Xen and virtual machine manager(VMM) are not
working to go for me.
I can install a new machine via VMM OK, The problems start to come up if i try
to start it after install. The Run button will not work on VMM. If I go into
virsh I get the error message below.
The new machines do not get an ID. That may have something to do with it.

Here is the error message from a console on a newly created machine. Hit the
run button and this is the error message.

On build b95 i have no problems what so ever. The system hardware is exaclty
the same. System settup is exactly the same. I used the same ISO to install the
virtul machines.
The work around. To get a shutdown machine running.
Install the new machine via VMM. Use a simple file as hard drive.
Machine unstartable and in shutdown state.
>From VMM delete the machine.
Create a new machine with the same name as the one you deleted / the one you
want to start up.
Go through the install again, use the same*** file you used for the hard drive
before
*** thats the important bit! dont miss that bit out.
You may want to use an ISO image that will auto boot the first HDD ater a
delay, but i dont think that is nessasery.
Now the HDD of your vitual machine should boot up, and way you go!
Am no expert, so following my instructions could be a bit risky ;)
