Not a source package issue.  The ISO is not bootable.

Title:
  Cannot install KVM guest from Focal Live Server ISO image but Legacy
  ISO works

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was trying to set up a Focal KVM guest just now and cannot get the
  20.04.1 release Live Server image to boot in KVM.  I downloaded from
  releases.ubuntu.com and verified that the SHA256 sums check out (they
  do).  ALso, just to be doubly sure, I downloaded the image a second
  time and verified that one as well.

  When I try booting the image as a CD/DVD on my KVM guest (using virt-
  manager on my 18.04 desktop system), the guest fails to boot with the
  error message:

  Boot failed: could not read from CDROM (code 0009)

  I tried changing the CDROM drive in KVM settings between IDE, SATA and
  SCSI with no change.

  I also tried, as mentioned above, booting the image after downloading
  it a second time, just to be sure, and that failed.

  I next downloaded the Focal legacy image from cdimages.ubuntu.com,
  that one booted immediately and allowed me to proceed installing my
  KVM guest.

  I have KVM/Qemu version 1:2.11+dfsg-1ubuntu7.31 from Bionic Updates
  installed as well as libvirt 4.0.0-1ubuntu8.17, also from Updates.

  So, to summarize:
  20.04.1 Live Server ISO - no boot in KVM
  Focal Legacy Server ISO - Successful boot in KVM

  Both images are the AMD64 ISOs.
