OK, uses the following ports:
Port 0x20: 8259 interrupt controller
Port 0x40: 8253 timer

Interrupt 0x1A:
ah=0x00: fetches system timer counters
ah=0x02: reads the clock
ah=0x04: fetches date

So there must be something wrong with KVM with the above functionality (I 
guess the timers).

Ciao,
Gerhard
