Re: Install OpenStack on Fedora 16 and xen (not Xen Cloud Platform)
[In reply to]

I think it should be as simple as looking at this step:
If you are testing OpenStack in a virtual machine, you need to configure nova to use qemu without KVM and hardware virtualization:
$> echo '--libvirt_type=qemu' | sudo tee -a /etc/nova/nova.conf
And adding "xen" rather than qemu. There may be other required changes that other people know about.
Cheers,
John
