[Bug 569890] [NEW] kvm hangs with uuid option

[Rusty Burchfield]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kvm

Works (vnc session shows installer and no errors flowing into kern.log):
$ kvm -cdrom ubuntu-10.04-rc-server-amd64.iso -vnc :0

Fails with black vnc session and errors in kern.log:
$ kvm -uuid `uuid` -cdrom ubuntu-10.04-rc-server-amd64.iso -vnc :0

This is the error from kern.log (happens about 40 times per second):
kernel: [592333.140692] handle_exception: unexpected, vectoring info 0x8000080e intr info 0x80000b0d

I have tried three different iso images to eliminate that as a factor
(openfiler, 3ware firmware, ubuntu server).

I don't specifically want to use a uuid.  However, managing vms with
libvirt does so automatically.  Therefore I am unable to use virt-
manager until this is fixed.
