(Get the code!)
Ok, some interesting info, and a fix / work around.
To install a guest (Tested this with Ubuntu Gutsy Beta), remaster the ISO with the bootlogo file removed. At the boot line, use vga mode, eg:
install vga=791
Your guest installation will install fast, and perfectly.
Anthony has written a small C application to remaster an ISO with the bootlogo file removed, I expect he will release the code shortly.
The second option , that I have not fully tested, is to tell KVM/QEMU to boot the kernel and initrd directly off the CD/ISO, this therefore by-passes the gfxboot completly and goes straight to installation. I will attempt to finish testing this out, and with other guest distros if possible, this evening.
