When I run the guest without the -vga option, everything is fine, the resolutions isn't what I would like, but it works remarkably well. If I add "-vga std" to the command I use to run the guest, then it will crash when it attempts to start graphics. This will also happen if I attempt to boot from an .iso with the "-vga std" option. If I attempt to install ubuntu 8.10 for x86 I get errors about not being able to read startup files in the /etc directory. This also happens if I use the -no-vkm switch. reidd@heman:/usr/appliances$ uname -a Linux heman 2.6.27-11-server #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 20:19:41 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux this is running an AMD Turion X2 on a toshiba Satellite P305D. I am using kvm-84, but also tested on 83 with the same results. Any ideas on why this would happen?
