The Ubuntu libvirt had a early version of the patch for supporting
the 'boot=on' parameter - I believe they always use it for any VM
with a domain type of 'kvm'. Since you are using regular QEMU it
is correct that you need to change the domain type to type=qemu
anyway.

 This is my installed things:
 
 $ dpkg -l | awk '/(virt|qemu|kvm)/{print $2,$3}'
 kvm 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu8
 libvirt-bin 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
 libvirt0 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
 python-libvirt 0.4.0-2ubuntu8
 python-virtinst 0.300.2-0ubuntu6
 python-virtkey 0.50ubuntu0.1
 qemu 0.9.1-1ubuntu1
 virt-manager 0.5.3-0ubuntu10
 virt-viewer 0.0.2-1ubuntu1
 
 Is it an upstream bug or a distribution bug?

I believe it is a disto bug - the upstream code for this should be
auto-detecting whether 'boot=on' is supported automatically now.

 Who is supposed to be noticed? The packager or the upstream (where please)?

Generally speaking, if you are yusing the libvir packages built by your
OS distributor,then use their bug tracking system. They will forward
bugs to upstream libvirt as required, or fix OS specific bugs directly.

My problem if I use qemu as domain type is the guest is slow enough to 
make me think it doesnt use the kvm.


In the beginning, and in Ubuntu documentation, the domain type is qemu 
as default.


So, the question that might solve the problems:
How can assume it's realy using kvm (and not just qemu)?

Note: when I launch the guest via the kvm command [1], it's faster.

[1] e.g.:
$ kvm -m 512 -hda foo.img -cdrom bar.iso -boot d

Hi,
I am using Ubuntu Hardy up to date.

When defining a domain with:
