I use libvirt-0.4.4-cvs, and virt-install-0.300.3.

Yes, but does that really matter? I guess qemu is not even started at
this step.
Yes it does matter because I am trying to figure out why your
capabilities xml is messed up.
Here is a piece of the capabilities xml you posted:
<guest>
<os_type>hvm</os_type>
<arch name='i686'>
<wordsize>32</wordsize>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu</emulator>
<machine>pc</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
</arch>
<features>
...
</features>
</guest>
This piece here should have a <domain> element, but since
it doesn't that means libvirt didn't have executable access
to /usr/bin/qemu. Is this named differently on Ubuntu? How
about all the other binaries (qemu-system-mips, ...)?
<guest>
<os_type>hvm</os_type>
<arch name='x86_64'>
<wordsize>64</wordsize>
<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
<machine>pc</machine>
<machine>isapc</machine>
<domain type='qemu'>
</domain>
</arch>
<features>
...
</features>
</guest>
If kvm is installed, then this should have a kvm <domain>
entry. Is /dev/kvm present/kvm module loaded? Is
/usr/bin/qemu-kvm present?
Thanks,
