That's what I figured, but sadly I'm just a "user". Paucity of google
results suggests that this problem is new and unknown/unfixed.
I had a quick stab at this with Xen last night, but it seems Ubuntu
and Xen are no longer friends.
The only thing left I can think to try is to check out the latest code
and try that.
Is it "normal" with qemu-kvm? Do I just get the code with git, faf
around with dependencies and then ./configure, make and make install?
