Running XenServer 5.6 w/ a Ubuntu 10.04 VM installed. Followed instructions from http://wiki.openstack.org/XenServerDevelopment, with some minor differences (using nova packages instead of running services in sceen sessions mainly).
When I try 'cloudservers boot test --flavor=1 --image=3' or 'cloudservers boot --flavor=1 --image=3 test' I get the following error from nova-compute.log:

Not sure what else to try, the storage is showing up in XenCenter, so the communication is occurring there.

Where are you running compute? For XenServer, it needs to be running inside a domU on the host.
