Bug#652593: Same problem after kvm host upgrade to wheezy

[James Collier]

Hi - another case:

I have just upgraded my KVM host OS from squeeze  to wheezy:
*** Linux  3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
*** qemu-kvm-1.1.2+dfsg-6, Debian

Existing linux guests (squeeze / 2.6.32-5-amd64 / grub-pc 
1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1) which were previously working fine with the 
vmware emulation now fail to boot, giving the "unaligned pointer" error 
described here. Same applies to qxl. Using the cirrus driver allows them 
to boot, but the screen resolution is limited to 800x600.  Bringing all 
packages up to date within the guest does not resolve the problem.

     Thanks & regards ...
