[Bug 453653] [NEW] [karmic] libvirt fails to list node devices

[Nathan Crawford]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libvirt-bin

Ubuntu release: 9.10 server x86_64
libvirt-bin version: 0.7.0-1ubuntu11

Libvirt is unable to list node devices via virsh or virt-manager add hardware dialog.
It looks like libvirt relies on hal for finding devices:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=522310

However, hal is being deprecated for Karmic:
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta#hal%20deprecation

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Karmic (I used the beta server cd, then updated to the latest packages)
2. Install ubuntu-virt-server
3. run 'virsh nodedev-list'

Expected results:
virsh should list devices on the system

Actual results:
'virsh noddev-list' outputs an error:
error: Failed to count node devices
error: this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virNodeNumOfDevices
