2.6.24-7-virtual should work if you are using the Ubuntu packaged KVM.  We 
updated KVM, but the kernel was delayed for a while.   The virtual flavor of 
the kernel contains minimal drivers so it must be updated anytime there is a 
change.

If you have the the server kernel flavor installed, that should work so you 
can update and get the newer virtual kernel.

If this does not fix your problem, or you have other issues with Ubuntu and 
KVM,  please file a bug in Launchpad.
