Hi,

I've created a virtual machine with an older version of libvirt and today,
after some package updates, I can not start the machine anymore. In virsh I
do:

connect qemu:///system
start debian-wheezy-xfce

and get:
error: Failed to start domain debian-wheezy-xfce
error: Unable to initialize /machine cgroup: Invalid argument

Trying to start from virt-manager gives a backtrace:

  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 1160, in startup
    self._backend.create()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libvirt.py", line 692, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)

Regards, Thomas Koch
