[Bug 217815] Re: Installation stalls randomly until a key is pressed

Up to date hardy with kvm 1:62+dfsg-0ubuntu6 still hangs.  Note that
this time I tried it with the same command as I did in my last comment
(eg, kvm/xtightvncviewer and not virt-manager).

Last few times it stopped in 'Erasing data on SCSI1...'.  Getting back
to Soren's comment on default_idle-- whenever the install hangs, CPU
utilization on the host by the guest goes to '0'.  Normally during the
installer it is around 100% on one of the host CPUs (when not waiting
for a response from the user).

Also note that if not using virt-manager and gtkvnc (ie you use
xtightvncviewer or possibly other vnc clients), it seems all you have to
do to get it unhung is drag the mouse over the window (the window does
not need to be the active window either).  This must be a difference
between vnc implementations.  So when testing this, be *very* careful
about mouse movements over the installer window.
