Other than the obvious (which is to check /var/log/messages or run
without --daemon)...
My guess is that you have enabled the virt-network USE flag but the
system is not configured as such that it could start the default virtual
network. Among other things you need:
* iptables support in there kernel
* bridging support in the kernel
* tun/tap support in the kernel
* brctl (probably a dependency of the package itself)
* iproute2 (probably a dependency of the package itself)
Did /var/log/messages tell you anything (did you bother to look)? Also
libvirt has a log level that can be set in the config, you could
increase that (and also check the logs).
You should also check the logs.
