Hi Simon,
I recently had this problem when I was using xen with opennebula. This might be
worth a try (it worked for me)
1. Make sure qemu-dm is installed (not necessary with xen as it comes in the
xen-hypervisor package so I think that's the package name)
2. Locate the correct qemu binary file location
3. Create a symbolic link to the correct qemu binary path
"ln -s /usr/bin/kvm <correct qemu binary path here>"
Hope this helps and let me know if it works!!!
Yours Sincerely,
Marc Reilly
