OK, my workaround got me as far as the boot screen for the iso, but as
soon as a choose an action it locks up and starts spewing the above
errors into kern.log again.
So, it isn't the uuid option specifically, but that does trigger it
sooner.
** Summary changed:
- kvm hangs with uuid option
+ kv
As a workaround, I have replaced the /usr/bin/kvm soft-link with the following
ruby code and made it executable. I do not know what adverse side-effects it
will have, but it works for now.
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.9
args = ARGV.dup
uuid_index = args.index('-uuid')
if (uuid_index)
args.slice!(uuid_ind
