Ah, so you mean the libvirt QEMU driver isn't working. The best first
step to diagnosing those problems is to stop the libvirtd daemon,
and run it manually with debugging enabled

  LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/libvirtd

with any luck there will be some failure reported explaining why the
QEMU driver didn't activate.
