Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

After upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 all the libvirt domains did not boot and the cpu usage went 100%. Trying to isolate the problem I found that kvm on maverick is unable to boot ubuntu 10.04 i386 virtual minimal setup. I even moved the image to another computer with also maverick edition and tried to boot the images there with no success.

I then tried to make a new guest installation using 10.04.1 i386 server iso with 'minimal virtual' option ON. The setup went just fine but trying to boot the fresh install ended on the same thing.

The actual effect is that KVM opens the disk images grub is executed and after that black screen (on guest) and 100% cpu usage on host.

Notice: all hosts and guests are i386.
