Bug Description
Binary package hint: virt-manager
I am unable to start any Linux Virtual Machine that is not of Debian decent. I have tried Ubuntu, Debian Etch, Debian Lenny, Parsix, Elive, Mepis and Fluxbuntu. All these distros of Debian heritage run fine. Anything else gives the error: "Attempted DOS System Call" on boot-up. The Fedora Live-CD will not boot - gives that error from the start. I can install Foresight Linux, however I get the boot after installation has completed and the virtual machine is rebooted. I have attached screenshots. Please let me know any additional information you might need. I'm reporting this as a virt-manager error rather than a kvm error because I can start the virtual machines from the command line w/ kvm...the problem only exists when using virt-manager.

Erk..
I think this is an extboot problem. I can run those CD's just fine with -cdrom path/to/the/iso, but with -drive file=/path/ to/the/ iso,if= ide,media= cdrom,boot= on it fails.
