Odd.  When you do:

        kvm -monitor stdio -vnc :1

and then on the terminal type 'info kvm', does it also say 'kvm support:
enabled'?  Could you give the result of:

	ls -l /dev/kvm
	grep kvm /etc/group
	grep libvirt /etc/group
	grep qemu /etc/group

and the contenets of /var/log/libvirt/qemu/X.log where X is the name of
a vm you've been starting with libvirt?

** Summary changed:

- Ubuntu KVM error with guest memory >4gb ram
