Ubuntu's gfxboot doesn't get on well with KVM

Hello all,

After solving my problems installing OpenBSD 4.1 in KVM, I tried to
install Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. The problem is that it gets stuck in a
black screen without having said anything at all. After some testing
with other isos I thought it could be related to the graphical
bootloader (gfxboot). So I regenerated an Ubuntu iso with gfxboot
manually disabled. The result is that this way it enables frame buffer
correctly and starts installation. I read there were some problems with
this in former kvm versions (and you had to test it with miniso) but I
thought it was already fixed it and I'm using kvm-44.

Thanks a lot in advanced for your help.

Regards

Miguel
