If you found troubles in the default installation of libvirt you should probably report this to the BTS of your distribution. The default installation doesn't obviously create any virtual machine (guest, in the terms of libvirt). I found very easy to use libvirt in conjunction with virt-manager utils, and this ubuntu guide [1] explain how to use it exactly in that way. There may be a similar guide for RHEL or fedora. Get the proper networking configuration for guests is often a tricker part and I found this page very useful [2]. Specific documents in libvirt home site and wiki may help you in other topics. Please moreover consider that libvirt is cool and extremely powerful (and often easier to use from the sysadmin perspective) but there may be other virtualizations solutions more suitable for you.
