<p class="MsoNormal">Nothing in the openvswitch log file (OVS itself works fine, I can start VMs with the kvm command line).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Any clues? I’m not too sure how to trace libvirt calls to OVS (according to the release notes, versions 1.0+ of libvirtd should work with OVS. Note: I am not using brcompat, I believe it’s obsolete in the OVS version I’m running).<o:p></o:p></p>
