Comment 49 for bug 1413540

I still have the same issue with kernel 3.16.0-36-generic or 3.13.0-51-generic (proposed-updates)

# KVM HOST (3.16.0-36-generic)
sudo apt-get install linux-signed-generic-lts-utopic/trusty-proposed

# KVM GUEST (3.16.0-36-generic)
sudo apt-get install linux-virtual-lts-utopic/trusty-proposed
apt-get install cloud-installer
cloud-install
