Fails to create KVM context on linux-image-2.6.22-6

I think the kvm version currently in gutsy (kvm 16) is far too old to work with the kvm modules from 2.6.22. I think it would be a good idea for someone to upgrade the gutsy kvm package to the latest (kvm 27).

I'll work on packaging up a new upstream version to match our new kernel module.

I've tested Amd Athlon64 X2 4600+ on Gusty Tribe1 i386 smp
used this howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM

user@amd1-desktop:~$ kvm -no-acpi -m 384 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d windows.img
kvm_create_vm: Invalid argument
Could not create KVM context

Yes, I can confirm also!
It would be great if we could have packages!

I've talked to one of the Debian KVM maintainers - he will soon release a kvm-28 package, which we'll then merge to fix this bug.

I just checked packaged.debian.org and found kvm-28. :-)
When it will be in Ubuntu?

Well, I just checked my point of view :-)
I've been downloaded kvm-source_28-1_all.deb [1] and kvm_28-1_amd64.deb[2] from

[1] http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kvm/kvm_28-1_amd64.deb
[2]http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/k/kvm/kvm-source_28-1_all.deb

and it works perfectly. But now Ubuntu asks me upgrade itself to it's previous versions... How remove this??? :-)

oops... sorry for hurring... I starts ok, but it cannot load my guest OS :-( It starts loading, but that I have just only black screen and no processing :-( I'll continue my experiments, but currently state if not perfect :-(
