Thanks for your response.

When i add this option it segv's on bootup, it doesn't even make it to the
bootscreen of debian:

vhost1:~# kvm -m 512 -cdrom /vz/template/iso/debian-503-amd64-netinst.iso -cpu pentium3

kvm[4829]: segfault at c ip 00000000004674ac sp 0000000042323fd0 error 4 in kvm[400000+21b000]

Does this provide more hints where to look ?
