I do not agree with you here.I have used KVM and virt-manager also and virt-manager �gives an option to�
install a PV guest or HVM guest and they use the same ISO which one downloads from the vendors site.

That's wrong . I guess�

Even I feel it to be wrong.�

Have�

1. (xend-unix-server yes) present in� /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
yes this is there�
2. export VIRSH_DEFAULT_CONNECT_URI=�xen:///�

this is also there.�
verify virsh version.
I rechecked it and it is the same version of virsh as I mentioned.

Try virt-install command line utility.

For some reason or the other all this is failing.
I checked the ISO above and in Virtual Box I was able to use the same ISO to create guest but for Xen things did not worked.
My system is 64 bit non VT.

I checked a guide of yours here
where at the last you mention virsh version on your blog which shows using Xen�
in my case it is the same thing that I mentioned.
I had installed via�
aptitude install ubuntu-virt-server
aptitude install ubuntu-virt-mgmt
but I do not have in my sources Daniel Baumans PPA which you used.
Let me know if we need to dig any thing more on my machine.
I feel creating a PV guest on a PV-Dom0 should not be that difficult.
I am just trying to create a Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit PV guest on Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit Desktop
which is a non VT hardware.
