Problem with Quantal and a KVM

[Dale Amon]

Like in medicine, the first rule in Enterprise systems
is 'do no harm'. 

If an upgrade to a working system causes it to come up
in a crippled or unusable state without assorted arcane
incantations (and btw I used even more arcane ones than
you mentioned and they did not work), then something
is broken in the distribution.

I cannot help on this. I will be 8000 miles from this
server by Saturday night.
