Hello,

Launchpad.net could be more appropriate to
discuss on something which looks like a bug.

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+filebug

According to your trace I would say you are running different versions

BTW please verify your version of libvirt. Hugepages is supported
start to 1.2.8 (but this should difinitly not failed so badly like
that)
