Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
I have a few 10.10 guest images that I use for testing on my up-to-date natty laptop. Since the update to qemu-kvm 0.14-rc1 they no longer boot -- I get the grub screen (but I'm not able to get it to respond to the keyboard, at least through virt-viewer), and then boot fails immediately with
unaligned pointer 0xffff
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
on the screen.
These guests worked fine with the previous 0.13 qemu-kvm.

I think vgabios-vmware bios may be to blame.
