I've tried the kernel targetted for sid and the kernel no longer oopses when I enter the
command, but kvm segfaults now. So instead of oopsing the host kernel, the virtual
machine now dies. I'm also not sure the command I enter is supposed to work as I can't
find any documentation about it. I guess you can reassign this bug to kvm when the new
kernel enters unstable/lenny.

Regards,

Rik
