libvirt does not seem to be running anymore after system bootup: 
$ virsh list
error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor

However the KVM-VMs which are set to boot up automatically are started as usual.

syslog says the following:
Mar 16 21:55:54 zeus kernel: [   39.834290] lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions
Mar 16 21:55:54 zeus libvirtd: 21:55:54.945: warning : lxcStartup:1748 : Unable to create cgroup for driver: No such device or address
Mar 16 21:55:54 zeus libvirtd: 21:55:54.974: error : main:3160 : Driver state in itialization failed
Mar 16 21:55:54 zeus libvirtd: 21:55:54.974: warning : qemudDispatchSignalEvent:385 : Shutting down on signal 3

issuing a 
$ /etc/init.d/libvirt-bin start
starts libvirt, and now also virsh is working as normal.

However syslog says the following:
Mar 16 22:02:05 zeus libvirtd: 22:02:05.257: error : halDeviceMonitorStartup:737 : libhal_ctx_init failed, haldaemon is probably not running
