I don't think this is related to KVM: I can reboot fine in the installed system, it's just the livecd/installer session that hangs. I also remember having this problem on real hardware back when I last installed Ubuntu. I regret not reporting it back then.
This is not a critical bug: hitting the reset button (or Alt+SysRq+S,U,B) reboots into the freshly-installed system fine. Yeah, I'm sure it's not ubiquity's fault. It could be upstart maybe? Or the particular upstart config files present on the LiveCD? I filed this bug against upstart since the ISO testing tracker told me that's where to file bugs for problems that happen "during the installation itself". I can reproduce this if I boot the .ISO in KVM, then Ctrl+Alt+F1 (i.e. Ctrl+Alt+2 to the QEMU monitor and 'sendkeys ctrl-alt-f1', then Ctrl+Alt+1 to go back to the VM) and 'sudo reboot'. I had 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' on /dev/tty1 when I ran 'sudo reboot' on tty2. The reboot produced exactly zero additional messages before tail got killed. I've no idea how to extract /var/log/syslog from the livecd session. AFAIU it lives in RAM and disappears as soon as I reboot. Maybe if I could dump the entire memory of the VM to a file and do a grep on it? Or if I knew how to set up remote syslog (assuming the network doesn't go down too soon)?
