It turns out everything was booting, they just weren't configured to give a
console or display a GUI window.

Subject: [libvirt] Problems starting XEN HVM with libvirt
I've been having trouble getting a Xen HVM guest started
using libvirt.
I've tried Windows Vista, Fedora Core 8, and Fedora Core 6
guests. Domain 0
is FC 8. The only guest that starts correctly is the FC 6 guest. Has
anyone else encountered something like this? Is there a
master list of
guest OS's that libvirt supports?
Thanks
