Do you also enable "network"?

I do almost the same thing, but I use virsh to undefine the default
network completely, when I install a vm, it just automatically
offers br0 as the only choice for network. Here's my ifcfg-br0 and
ifcfg-eth0 files (I use a static IP):

DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
IPADDR=192.168.1.106
IPV6INIT=no
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=no
USERCTL=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no

DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:1b:21:3a:00:f3
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
BRIDGE=br0
NM_CONTROLLED=no
PEERDNS=no
