(Get the code!)
I am also running Intrepid Ibex (64-bit) within a virtual machine in Hardy Heron (64-bit).
I am able to use kvm to boot the 2.6.24 kernel. However, the system hangs when attempting to boot 2.6.26-1 and 2.6.26-2. Both are generic kernels, no modification, with lrm and lum installed. The command I use to laund QEMU/KVM is as follows.
kvm -m 512 -soundhw all ~/Virtual\ Machines/
I then downloaded the Alpha-1 alternate install CD for 64-bit. This unsuccessfully boots with the symptoms mentioned above.
However, both the cd image and the existing virtual machine WILL boot with the following command.
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -soundhw all -cdrom ~/path/to/iso.iso -boot d ~/Virtual\ Machines/
Therefore, this could be a kvm hiccup between runnng a 2.6.24 kernel as host and 2.6.26 kernel in the VM. Again, using qemu instead of kvm allows the 2.6.26 kernel to boot, however no hardware acceleration is being used.
