Title:
  Xubuntu 18.04.2 i386 installation fails to boot on kvm (kvm3d cpu)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  During 18.04.2 iso testing, I have picked up the i386 Xubuntu isos for
  a quick sanity-test on kvm. Even though the live-session tests have
  succeeded (everything seemed to work as expected), I seem to be having
  issues booting an installed system on kvm.

  The Xubuntu system installed correctly. I have selected full-disk
  installation and disabled downloading updates during install. Then I
  have proceeded with trying to boot the installed system:

  kvm -cdrom ~/bionic-desktop-i386.iso -drive
  if=virtio,file=/home/sil2100/hdd.qcow2 -m 2048 -boot c -cpu kvm32

  The boot process hangs on a black screen and blinking cursor. No
  splash screen was visible. Tried installing twice and the result was
  the same.
