SLES 10 install failing on KVM-28

With KVM-28, attempting to install SLES 10 x86_64 from its DVD gives a 
blank black screen as soon as the installer switches from text mode, after 
the kernel has booted and the text-mode non-interactive part of yast has 
run: the window resizes from the text mode size, and is redrawn black, and 
then things stop, with kvm consuming almost no CPU.

If one tries the "-std-vga" option, then the same point is reached, only 
the console also fills with

kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2

The command line was

/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /scratch/sda6/VM/8GB_2 -cdrom \
 /dev/hda -m 1024 -k en-gb -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:01:02:01 -net tap \
 -boot d -std-vga

and the host is an Intel Core2 running SLES 10 x86_64.

On the plus side, kvm successfully works with our PXE/autoyast SuSE 9.3
install system, even if SuSE 9.3 is now history...
