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

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

[Miguel Araujo]

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

Thanks for the feedback, but I think my case is not the same as in the 
bug you send me. My computer is not Intel, it is an AMD64. So as I have 
read it should work nice. I don't even get to see the installation 
screen (gfxboot) it just stays black. Anyone knows why this happens? Is 
somebody having the same issue? Again, thanks a lot.
