I am using kvmctl under linux k 2.6.27 . kvm is part of the kernel . 
Ubuntu distro

1. When I run : kvmctl <flat file>  when flatfile is : 
 
   The machine  get stuck for a long time. I have to abort with CtrlC
 
   Can you tell what is wrong or the above kernel ver does not have  the 
'kvmctl' fully  operatinal ?

2. Where can I see the full set of the flatfile keywords  (aside from 
those in the above link's example)
    I udnerstand that if the repertoire is not full then I should avoid 
using 'kvmctl'  and use only Qemu to start/define a VM instance  from a 
script.
    is that correct ?

thanks

You're missing a " at the end of the disk0 line, which will break the script.

If this is for my kvmctl script, then there is a template file that
ships in the tarball, that lists all the options.  Should be called
template.kvm.

Most .flats want the bootstrap first:

kvmctl user/test/x86/bootstrap blah.flat

What link? what are flatfile keywords?

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
