[Bug 720210] [NEW] Ubuntu 10.10 guests don't boot with natty qemu-kvm 0.14-rc1

[Roland Dreier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

I have a few 10.10 guest images that I use for testing on my up-to-date
natty laptop.  Since the update to qemu-kvm 0.14-rc1 they no longer boot
-- I get the grub screen (but I'm not able to get it to respond to the
keyboard, at least through virt-viewer), and then boot fails immediately
with

unaligned pointer 0xffff
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

on the screen.

These guests worked fine with the previous 0.13 qemu-kvm.
