I fired up my test dual-core athlon and installed Squebian Deeze. And 
encountered problems similar to those my friend has been facing.

Then with a sharp pain, like a pin stuck in my arm, a neuron fired and I 
*finally* remembered that I had replaced the vgabios.bin and vgabios-
cirrus.bin files in /usr/share/kvm a looooong time ago. I no longer remember 
where I got them or exactly why they needed to be replaced.

I transferred those two files to the athlon system and kvm started behaving 
much more betterer. I can now easily start several VMs.
