All seems to have gone well, I can see the hosts in the ovirt interface, but when I attempt to create and start a VM it never gets past printing the SeaBios version and the machine UUID to the screen/console. It doesn't appear to try to boot from the hard disk or an ISO that I've attached.

I wouldn’t think you can even get that far.
It may work with full emulation (non-kvm) but we kind of enforce it in oVirt so some changes are likely needed.
Of course even if you succeed it’s going to be hopelessly slow. (or maybe it is indeed working and just runs very slow)

Nested on a KVM hypervisor runs ok
