Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
(This may be Bug #420423 but we're running a much newer kernel on lucid).
Host: Lucid 64bit uptodate as of 23rd January - i7-860 - 2.6.32-11-generic #15-Ubuntu
qemu-kvm: Version: 0.12.2-0ubuntu1
Guest: lucid alpha 2 64bit iso (having pressed update-installer on it on 23rd Jan).
Symptom: During install at a non-repeatable point the root filesystem of the guest becomes RO
and there are dmesg logs on the guest says that there were write errors on vda1. The block numbers
are different on repeated installs.
There are no errors on the hosts dmesg. The disc is backed by a lvm lv, and I've tried writing it with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/

Two more data points:
1) This still happens with the host running todays 2.6.33 daily (2.6.33-999-generic #201001221151)
2) It works if I give the guest an emulated scsi disk rather than a virtio disk.
