I use the command:

sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system --ram 256 -n lenny -f /dev/hati/lenny -w network:default --accelerate --cdrom ~/download/debian/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso --os-type=linux --os-variant=debianLenny --hvm

The boot on the CDROM gives me:

=== KVM graphic display ===
Booting from CD-Rom...

ISOLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-06-10 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
vesamenu.c32 attempted DOS system call
boot:
=== END ===

I'm not quite sure if it's a virt-install problem or kvm one but the command

sudo /usr/bin/kvm -m 256 -smp 1 -name lenny -monitor stdio -boot d \
    -drive file=/dev/hati/lenny,if=virtio,index=0 \
    -cdrom /home/dad/download/debian/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso \
    -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet0 -serial pty \
    -parallel none -k fr

Works fine :-/

Regards.
