I gave the wrong example my mistake.What I wanted to convey was a PV
guest option on Xen and HVM guest option
in virt-manager.So creating a PV guest on Xen using virt-manager
should not be a difficult thing but it does not work.
I would like to know if there is some way this problem can be debugged
since virt-install has also failed.
