Comment 23 for bug 120316

I'm seeing this problem trying to install from ubuntu-8.04-beta-server-i386.iso on qemu. I also have ata_PIIX drives. Trying the two fixes mentioned above (adding ata_piix to the blacklist and break=top) did not help. break=top actually appears to have stopped me earlier in the process of installing. I'm not able to choose a language because it won't respond to my keyboard and mouse.

Anyone have another idea for a workaround until this gets fixed? I'd like to do some package testing, but need a clean system. :-)
