Hi Bob,
thanks a lot for your answer, but neither of the solutions worked for
me.
The Rackspace-supplied agent latest version simply refuses to install
on Ubuntu 13.03 and Debian 7.0. I will ask the rackerlabs people about it
with a detailed description of my errors, but it doesn't seem
straightforward at all...
Also, as you suggested, I added the xenapi-disable-agent key to my
nova.conf file. Now I get earlier in the nova-compute log the message that
says that the instance is in 'Running' state, but in the dashboard it is
still marked as 'Spawning' :(
By the way, this is my nova.conf file, in case it helps...
[DEFAULT]

Thanks a lot.
