After to have compiled Linux 2.6.30.3 using the Debian way on guest Debian GNU/Linux Lenny, when trying to boot the guest with this kernel, the bootstrapping is freeze on "Loading, please wait..." message. In logs I don't get entries of the bootstrapping process with 2.6.30 (I think it is because the process in itself didn't start). Can it be due to a bug using 2.6.30.3 in guest with host KVM-88?
