Hi Steffan, I run my VMs on c7 using qemu-kvm + libvirt + virt-manager and the same on a slackware 14.2 without any problem. What error/problem do you receive?

I have all my issues posted on the forum -
https://centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=71934
I'm using Xen and it seems to be an issue with pvgrub and grub2. No matter
what I do, it always boots into the grubdom> prompt.
I made the changes suggested in the thread but can't get past that. HVM is
fine but slow. PV just won't work.
Thank you,
Steffan Cline
