FYI, I just discovered that I can make my Solaris guest boot every time in kvm by specifying an interactive boot at the boot prompt and then just hand stepping through the default prompts. Presumably there is a timing issue in the guest boot sequence which kvm is exposing when running natively on m

Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) kernel is 3.2.0.35.40. Too hard to downgrade kermel. I should mention that I installed current qemu 1.3.0 from source but made no difference. I also had installed 1.3.0 from source on my older ubuntu system (trying to fix a problem which I later solved another way) and it wo

As per first post, kvm worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit with whatever 3.* kernel that was. I have upgraded to a new box with newly installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit and now kvm does not work. Same qemu image. I suspect the architecture change from 32 to 64 bit is the issue here but I guess you are
