Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
Works (vnc session shows installer and no errors flowing into kern.log):
$ kvm -cdrom ubuntu-
Fails with black vnc session and errors in kern.log:
$ kvm -uuid `uuid` -cdrom ubuntu-
This is the error from kern.log (happens about 40 times per second):
kernel: [592333.140692] handle_exception: unexpected, vectoring info 0x8000080e intr info 0x80000b0d
I have tried three different iso images to eliminate that as a factor (openfiler, 3ware firmware, ubuntu server).
I don't specifically want to use a uuid. However, managing vms with libvirt does so automatically. Therefore I am unable to use virt-manager until this is fixed.

Changed in kvm (Ubuntu): | |
status: | New → Confirmed |
As a workaround, I have replaced the /usr/bin/kvm soft-link with the following ruby code and made it executable. I do not know what adverse side-effects it will have, but it works for now.
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.9
args = ARGV.dup slice!( uuid_index, 2)
uuid_index = args.index('-uuid')
if (uuid_index)
args.
end
exec '/usr/bin/ qemu-system- x86_64' , *args
