Are you sure that the bridge module isn't loaded when ovs-vswitchd starts?  If 
restarting ovs-vswitchd and ovs-brcompatd don't fix the problem, then try 
bringing down your OVS daemons (ovsdb-server, ovs-vswitchd, and ovs-brcompatd), 
deleting your OVS database (often in "/etc/openvswitch/conf.db"), and 
restarting them all.  This should bring things back to a clean state.  Then try 
rerunning your NOVA init scripts.  Please make sure that you're running OVS 
1.1.1 and the bridge module is not loaded before following these steps.
