Hi TJ, I have no problem booting installed guests (Gutsy, XP, Vista = 100%) when running KVM (kvm-44), from what I hear you saying, you can't boot an installed Gutsy guest... if so, that's odd, however I am running 32-Bit host and guests.
Hopefully this gfxboot issue will be resolved, as personally I think it is very important, especially when it comes to Ubuntu Server installations! (anyone agree with me on this?). We use Ubuntu server widely (6.06LTS mainly), and I am keen to push KVM usage in our company, the idea of waiting hours does not appeal to me to install, but worst case schenario will be extracting a qcow2 image of a working base installation guest. For my testing here at home, I made some modifications to my guest structure. I have got in the host a 500gb SATA-II (/dev/sdb). I only have one shell script to boot the guest: /usr/local/bin/kvm contains #!/bin/bash /usr/local/kvm-44/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -soundhw all -localtime -m 1024 -hda /dev/sdb I also have in my /etc/rc.local echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq &>/dev/null chmod o+rw /dev/sdb &>/dev/null I find having a dedicated drive much easier to manage my guests, and improves preformance. All the partitions can be mounted in my host, etc, etc. Sorry the above is off topic, but maybe a useful bit of info for some.
