Thanks Avi for your quick response and interest.

The problem is that KVM does not install any Operative System (I forgot 
to say that I also tried to Install Windows XP 32 bits) excepting Debian 
netinstall (and this seems to be stable, no errors prompted till today). 
Therefore, I'm not able to send you any other feedback than this.  Just 
saying fdutils makes it to get stuck in Ubuntu installation. How could I 
try to make KVM fail or prompt something? Could I launch kvm in "debug" 
mode?
Installation logs of these machines look like the normal ones.

Regards,

          Miguel
