Paucity of google results suggests that this problem is new and unknown/unfixed. I had a quick stab at this with Xen last night, but it seems Ubuntu and Xen are no longer friends. The only thing left I can think to try is to check out the latest code and try that. Is it "normal" with qemu-kvm? Do I just get the code with git, faf around with dependencies and then ./configure, make and make install? Regards, James.
