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 ...
