Actually for me the Intrepid 2.6.26-3.9 kernel does boot inside a Hardy kvm VM (with a Hardy 2.6.24-19/kvm 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu7 host), while 2.6.26-2 still hangs.
However there is now another problem, which is that the guest is pretty much unusable due to time running much too fast: I see several minutes tick by on the guest's clock (eg on the gdm login screen) for every second in the real world (ie timekeeping is off by a factor of the order of magnitude of 100 times). This breaks autorepeat etc severely and makes it hard to do anything in the guest.
