I'm the maintainer for kvm in debian. The patch for this bug also applies to kvm and i've released kvm-63 with it.
The current patch brakes support for qcow images as described in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=470664 I've just tested the current svn version of qemu (0.9.1-2) which also has the same problem. So you probably don't want to use the patch in the current form. -- Jan Lübbe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://sicherheitsschwankung.de gpg-key 1024D/D8480F2E 2002-03-20 fingerprint 1B25 F91F 9E7B 5D4F 1282 02D6 8A83 8BE4 D848 0F2E
