Could you please help point > out what I should do next? Have you looked in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/ubuntu12.log, to see if there is a more details error message? Are you sure you installed your self-built binaries in the same place that the distro versions live, or could there be any mismatch? Does http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Troubleshooting help? (and that's a wiki, so if you don't see your problem listed, feel free to add a page to help others learn what you learn in this exercise) You mentioned that your host machine is running Red Hat - have you tried to use your Red Hat support contract for the feature that you want from the version that the distro ships? (Of course, installing a self-built binary in place of distro binary puts you in unsupported territory, no matter what distro you use...)
