(Get the code!)
Ok, don't flame me for repeating myself here, but flagging this as Medium is wrong in my view. Wrong for the following reasons:
1) It's easy and quick to patch, and (to me and others) SHOULD have been done prior to the release of 7.10
2) I work as a systems administrator, and use as much as possible Ubuntu Server (generally LTS, but on occasions latest release), and we are about to any day now put into productions a suite of virtual servers using KVM. The installation of guest RHEL5/CentOS5 works in KVM (53), but Ubuntu Server... no, I have to remaster the ISO to remove the gfxboot, ok no major issue, but it should not be like that, it SHOULD boot.
3) As I assume most KVM end-users will be geeks and admins, it's annoying to people to find that booting your guest Ubuntu is a no-go
I'm hoping that this get cleared up ASAP, it's been reported, it's been patched, it's been acknowledged , ... erm, PLEASE lets get it sorted.
I'm also toying with the idea of writing a GUI (Mono GTK#) and / or console app to remaster any given Ubuntu CD/DVD iso to a KVM friendly bootable ISO...
Sorry for ranting :P
