Excellent, so the problem is still in upstream, or is in our

Actually it's probably our bios.

An exploit from a guest kernel through an emulated device through the kvm

But I'll go ahead and download that and give it a try tonight. I
suspect we'll need either an update to the bioses, or to use the
multiboot bios.
