I have the same problem. I am using virt-install and I get the following
error:
root@ubuntu:~# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n ubuntu-vm1 -r 2048
--vcpus=4 -f /root/vmimages/kvm1.qcow2 -s 12 --cpuset=4,5,6,7 -c
/root/vmimages/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso --os-type linux --network
bridge=virbr0 --accelerate --virt-type kvm --hvm
Starting install...

Domain installation does not appear to have been
successful. If it was, you can restart your domain
by running 'virsh start ubuntu-vm1'; otherwise, please
restart your installation.
