Dustin, here is my progress thus far. On a install of Karmic alpha6 CD,
with qemu-kvm 0.11.0~rc2-0ubuntu4
FIRST:
-----------------------------------
boot VM
ubuntu jaunty
kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
load 'acpiphp' module in VM
modprobe acpiphp
try 'virsh attach-device
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foobar bs=1M count=64
cat /tmp/meh
<disk type='block'><driver name='phy'/><source
dev='/tmp/foobar'/><target dev='sdb'/></disk>
virsh attach-device 1 /tmp/meh
Connecting to uri: qemu:///system
Device attached successfully
no dice, just see some SCSI init stuff in dmesg (see bug report), but no
actual disk devices are showing up
NEXT:
------------------------------------------
roll back qemu-kvm to version 0.11.0~rc2-0ubuntu2, same result
NEXT:
-------------------------------------------
grab the 'kvm' binary from a jaunty box (1:84+dfsg-0ubuntu12.3), throw it in
/usr/bin on the karmic box, softlink /usr/share/qemu to /usr/share/kvm -
success! Somewhere between this version and 0ubuntu2, the problem cropped
up. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not. Here is the nice dmesg I get
with the older KVM, in the guest:

Let me know how you would like me to proceed, if I can help in any way!
