The ovirt-guest-agent can probably build and used only on fc16. This is 
due the changes in the file system layout (/run is tmpfs for example) 
and using systemd and not initd.

Although the agent is written in python and could have been noarch it is 
not possible because of its sub-packages. The sub-packages (gdm/kdm 
plug-ins and a pam module) are written in C.

Is the directory /var/run/ovirt-guest-agent exists and does the 
rhevagent user have a write permissions on it?
