You can try the kvm packages in the following personal package archive (PPA): * https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/+archive/ppa Or, you can wait about a week and these packages should be uploaded to the hardy-backports archive, and you can install from there, rather than from the PPA. Please install both kvm and kvm-source to update both user and kernel space. (Note that these packages contain cherry picks of the qcow2 corruption patches.) :-Dustin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
