Trying to install 12.04 server into a KVM VM.
The CD image boots fine to the language selection screen but after I choose "Install Ubuntu Server" the screen goes black and stays that way.
This is using VNC to capture the output of a Cirrus virtual video adapter.

OK, this is a problem with 12.04 server i386 not behaving well with the virtual hardware presented to it.
If I enable a serial console, I get the following output:
