Ok, but as I write in my message, I'm using the KVM modules from the latest upstream kernel, not the kvm-85 modules. According to the KVM download page, http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Downloads, any kernel above 2.6.25 should work with the latest KVM userspace. This has been true until now in my case, but it breaks with 2.6.29.1 and that's the reason why I'm posting this bug report. Best Regards Kenni Lund
