Subject: emulation failed (pagetable) rip


On today's git, while installing Ubuntu Jaunty I am getting a load of -

[ 1962.876257] __ratelimit: 1457842 callbacks suppressed

It happens right after Partition formatting sequence in Jaunty install.
The installation fails with unable to mount partition vda.

QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.1 (kvm-84)

kvm -drive file=ubuntu-jaunty.img,if=virtio,boot=on -net nic,model=virtio 
-net user -m 1024M -cdrom /media/New\ Volume/Downloads/ubuntu-9.04-desktop-amd64.iso 

If I remove the file=...,if=virtio and instead use plain old hda=... the 
install succeeds - probably safe to say virtio is at fault?

Haven't recently tested KVM so can't say when this started.

Any ideas?
