Howdy,
Running the most recent OVS and libvirt I'm running into the following error message
with virt-install:

Even if I create a new OVS switch I get the same result:

Nothing in the openvswitch log file (OVS itself works fine, I can start VMs with the kvm
command line).
Any clues? I'm not too sure how to trace libvirt calls to OVS (according to the
release notes, versions 1.0+ of libvirtd should work with OVS. Note: I am not using
brcompat, I believe it's obsolete in the OVS version I'm running).
Thanks,
Chris.
