I'm using two machines for testing KVM. In machine "A" KVM worked good. 
This is a Feisty 7.04 32 bits with 2.6.20-16 Ubuntu standard kernel  
with kvm installed apt way.
The machine "B" is the one I have mentioned before and It's using a 
2.6.22 manually compiled kernel. It has been able to install only Debian 
netinstall. I would like to know if there is some kind of issue with kvm 
and this kernel or with AMD64.
