Hi,

I've a b81 server running for a while. I've done all sorts of Python related 
stuff on it (nothing amazing, mostly compiled python2.5 and iPython in 
/usr/local), and now am trying to use it with xVM to install Windows on a 
virtual machine in it.

I'm having trouble creating the new machine, and I get a blank error response 
like so when I try to do it:
donny:/folgers/vm/xVM/windows-xp# xm create windows-xp.conf 
Using config file "./windows-xp.conf".
Error: 
donny:/folgers/vm/xVM/windows-xp# cat windows-xp.conf
disk = [ 'file:/folgers/vm/xVM/windows-xp/boot.raw,hdc,w',
    'file:/folgers/vm/install/windows-xp-sp2.iso,hda:cdrom,r' ]
memory = 256
name = "winxp"
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
vif = [ 'type=ioemu' ]
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'preserve'
boot='d'
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncpasswd=''
serial='null'
apic=0 
usb=1
usbdevice="tablet"
device_model = '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm' 
donny:/folgers/vm/xVM/windows-xp# 

I've tried unsetting my PYTHONPATH with the /usr/local changes, setting my PATH 
thus that /usr/bin/python (2.4) will be used instead of mine and even tracing 
Python's execution with this dtrace script:
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -ZCs
#pragma D option quiet
python588:::function-entry,python588:::function-return
{
        printf("%s %s (%s:%d)\n", probename == "function-entry" ? "->" : "<-",
            copyinstr(arg1), copyinstr(arg0), arg2);
}

I had a hard time understanding what I was seeing because it seems 'xm' asks 
some services from an HTTP based RPC server, and I was unable to understand 
where exactly in the server's flow was I failing.

Any ideas on how to even approach this?

Thanks!
 - Y.
