If you want to run something in one instance, you should do like:

novm run --id 20144 WhatYouWantToRun

[foxwang]

like this?：
root@ubuntu:/home/fox/novm# novm --debug create --kernel e4a4937c6cf0c769af670ebf6df1a2eb2a001995 --name test
20351
root@ubuntu:/home/fox/novm# novm list //nothing。。。。。。。。
root@ubuntu:/home/fox/novm# novm --debug run --id 20351 /bin/ls

@foxwang
if novm list outputs nothing, that means the kvm instance is not started.
Here is the output on my machine:
hamo@TRINITY ~ $ python2 /usr/bin/novm create

can you tell me，What’s your OS ?and the kernel version?

[amscanne]

Are you sure you have /dev/kvm and a new enough kernel?

The best way to debug is run the following command:

novm --debug create --nofork --com1

[cholcombe973]

I think I'm having the same issue on ubuntu 14.04:
~/repos/novm$ ./scripts/novm --debug create --nofork --com1

Am having errors as well on creating containers and executing commands:

 python2 scripts/novm --debug run --id 11469 /usr/bin/ls
