Hi Cole,

you're right. I installed libvirt-0.9.8 (instead of 0.9.6) and it works 
fine with qemu-1.0-r2.

Gentoo doesn't have to backport it. There is 0.9.8 allready in portage, 
but masked (means not 100% stable). But qemu-kvm-1.0-r2 is also marked 
as masked. Therefore it is only a combination of one masked 
(qemu-kvm-1.0-r2) and one unmasked (libvirt-0.9.6) package, which isn't 
anything I could complain about :)
Maybe I should fill in a "bug" report that if qemu-kvm is unmasked they 
need to unmask libvirt, too. I'll thing about it.

Thank you for clearing things up.

Kind regards,
Felix Blanke
