One more quirk
I can create a domain using the lx commands and a slightly modified .conf file. "virsh start kvmtest" returns a failure. I tracked the information passed to vif-openvswitch and it is being called with type_if=tap and it needs to be type_if=vif.
Sounds like a Xen bug. Does it call vif-openvswitch twice? Once for an emulated NIC and once for PV nic?
Any help would be greatly appreciated once again.

Shouldn't that be '...,script=vif-openvswitch,...'? Also, if your guest has PV drivers, you could set 'model=netfront' to explicitly say you only want the PV NIC. Regards, Jim
