Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
After installing the update from #361938, one of my virtual machines appeared to have a corrupt qcow2 image. Fsck just kept on fixing the same errors, so I decided to do a reinstall for that vm.
After creating a new qcow2 image and starting the installer, after the partitioning phase the installer fails to mount any vda devices. These errors show up in dmesg:
[ 187.756390] end_request: I/O error, dev vda, sector 20047866
I tried to do a reinstall on a raw file and that finished succesfully. I convert the raw image to qcow2 and tried to boot that, but it hangs after the filesystem check (which doesn't find any errors).
My other "old" qcow2 virtual machine that did not get corrupt seems fine.

Hi Frank-
I just uploaded a new kvm to karmic that has a cherry pick which should fix this issue. Marking 'Fix Released'.
