Original Dom0 setup had been done per Todd Deshane's
instruction:-
     http://deshantm.livejournal.com/29959.html
Functionality of SNV89 PV and HVM DomUs tested fine as well as F8 and WinXP HVM guests. Once again, all done as advised at http://deshantm.livejournal.com/29959.html
Next i attempted to follow :-

     https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/libvirt.html

# apt-get install kvm libvirt-bin
# adduser $USERNAME libvirtd
Relogin
# apt-get install python-virtinst

No errors reported during installs. However , i've noticed references for 7.10
repositories during download.

Looks like a bug:-

root@boris-desktop:~# virt-install
Would you like a fully virtualized guest (yes or no)?  
This will allow you to run unmodified operating systems. yes
 What is the name of your virtual machine? hvm01
 How much RAM should be
 allocated (in megabytes)? 1024
 What would you like to use as the disk (file path)? /etc/xen/images/snv.img
 You are going to overwrite file '/etc/xen/images/snv.img'!
Do you really want to use the file (yes or no)?  yes
Floating point exception

root@boris-desktop:~# virt-install

Try to losetup image file:-

root@boris-desktop:~# losetup -a
/dev/loop0: [080b]:1566802 (/etc/xen/images/snv.img)
root@boris-desktop:~# virt-install
