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..
