Download openSUSE-10.3-GM-GNOME-Live-i386.iso from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/cd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-GNOME-Live-i386.iso 2. run 'qemu-kvm -cdrom openSUSE-10.3-GM-GNOME-Live-i386.iso' Actual results: Error message. Additional info: running 'qemu -cdrom openSUSE-10.3-GM-GNOME-Live-i386.iso' works without problems. Other LiveCDs also work fine under qemu-kvm.
