Bug Description

Versions & Setup

feisty-7.04 server cd
kvm included in this version
and kvm-18
Core2 Duo with VT on

a) When trying to boot from the feisty-7.04 server cd with kvm this results in a crash.

b) I tried to use qemu instead of kvm at least to get a system installed.
    The Installer is booting from cd, but then it cannot mount the cd as installation medium

Testing: The same procedure worked fine with the edgy server cd.

Trace for a)

We only support the kvm modules and kvm userspace supplied with our kernel. You can't use the kvm userspace that doesn't match the kernel modules.
