Thanks for the report.

This should be fixed in Karmic's qemu-kvm-0.11 package. There have been 
a number qcow2 fixes upstream. Any one of these are expected to solve 
your issue. 

If you can reproduce this issue with that package, please reopen the 
bug. 

Thanks,

Bug description: 
Binary package hint: kvm 

Running KVM under Jaunty (9.04)

kvm: 
Installed: 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 
Candidate: 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 
Version table: 
*** 1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu11 0

Tried to add further storage to Virtual Machine OS:win2008 after
creating image with qemu-img using qcow2. New disk is recognized and
partitioned by win2008 ok.

When trying to format this new disk image (qcow2) in a win2008 Virtual
Machine(VM). The VM crashes and locks up the KVM process. qcow2 disk
images can be formatted no problem using a win2003 VM.

Using RAW format instead of qcow2 works on win2008 VM.
