When trying to partition a KVM Virtual Disk, in my case based on a qcow2 image file, the partitioner is detecting the disk to be a DASD

Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 10.7 GB Virtio Block Device
> #1 10.7 GB f ext4 /
> 8.7 kB FREE SPACE

It then uses fdasd to partition it. This fails with the error:

"fdasd: Unsupported disk type -- Disk geometry does not match a DASD device of type 3390."

I have attached the syslog and partman log files, as well as my guest definition file.
