Re: [ANNOUNCE] qemu-kvm-0.12.1

[Ingmar Schraub <is@eseco.de>]

Apparently it doesn't matter what type of VM (Windows or Linux) you
start, the same problem happens.

For the time being, I reverted back to qemu-kvm-0.12.0-rc2

But of course I would like to move forward to the new version. So any
suggestions are welcome.

Thanks, Ingmar
