nova-compute.log shows an error like:
2011-08-25 04:47:53,889 ERROR nova.compute.manager [-] Instance '2' failed to spawn. Is virtualization enabled in the BIOS? Details: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I realize this isn't that big of a deal, but I just lost a bunch of time
trouble shooting it it and I should be sleeping.
