Hello, I'm not using vnc but I have similar problems as long as the option '-vga vmware' is present in my startup script.
1. With an existing debian-amd64/testing VM image, I get the following message
after GRUB
unaligned pointer 0x8f8b0002
Aborted. Press any key to exit.
2. With a Knoppix live CD, the virtual system becomes unusable after a few
minutes.
kvm -drive file=~/iso.images/KNOPPIX_V6.2.1CD-2010-01-31-
EN.iso,media=cdrom,boot=on -vga vmware
3. The two previous VMs work fine without -vga option
