I should have read 
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Quick_Start_Guide#Prerequisites more closely:

"For each Host (oVirt Node or Fedora Host)
<snip>
     The breakdown of the server requirements are as below:
         For each host: AMD-V or Intel VT enabled, AMD64 or Intel 64 
extensions, minimum 1 GB RAM, 3 GB free storage and 1 Gbps network 
interface."

So you can't run an oVirt node without a 64 bit processor and virt 
extensions. I should have read the instructions more closely.

Cheers,
Dave.
