The bios used in old versions of kvm had incorrect MPBIOS tables, this was fixed in seabios sometime in 2009 iirc, so updating to a slightly more recent version should help.
Keyboard mappings can behave "strangely" in some virtualization environments, I would not bother spending much time on this until you're running on a more recent version..
