[libvirt-users] Host does not support virtualization type 'xen'

[Su Zhang]

The issue hasn't been eliminated. Here is the running script:

[root at XenTester su]# virt-install -p -c xen:///
ERROR    Host does not support virtualization type 'xen'
[root at XenTester su]# virsh uri
xen:///

[root at XenTester su]#

Any other possibilities?
