Installer version: 421
Kernel: 4.4.0.4

When trying to partition a KVM Virtual Disk, in my case based on a qcow2
image file, the partitioner is detecting the disk to be a DASD

Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 10.7 GB Virtio Block Device
>     #1    10.7 GB    f  ext4          /
>            8.7 kB       FREE SPACE

It then uses fdasd to partition it. This fails with the error:

"fdasd: Unsupported disk type -- Disk geometry does not match a DASD
device of type 3390."

I have attached the syslog and partman log files, as well as my guest
definition file.
