Public bug reported:
I have been running KVM on hardy for a few weeks with no problems, but
after today's security update of KVM ([USN-776-1]) I cannot start any
VM's:
# virsh start DevVM-01
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
libvir: QEMU error : QEMU quit during console startup
qemu: unknowm parameter 'boot' in
'file=/dev/skx-vg/DevVM-01-disk,if=scsi,boot=on'
error: Failed to start domain DevVM-01
My DevVM-01.xml is:
<domain type='kvm'>

I created this VM using virt-install. My package versions are:
# dpkg -l | awk '/(virt|qemu|kvm)/{print $2,$3}'

libvirt0 0.4.0-2ubuntu8.1
python-libvirt 0.4.0-2ubuntu8.1
python-virtinst 0.300.2-0ubuntu6
qemu 0.9.1-1ubuntu1
Running on Hardy:
