I just verified with todays image that it boots fine in kvm with 2cpu:
 kvm -boot a -fda natty-server-uec-amd64-floppy -drive
    file=natty-server-uec-amd64.img,if=virtio,boot=on -curses -smp 2

The path in kvm is slightly different as it a different init that runs
before /sbin/init is run, but in the end, it boots fine.

Its different disks though (kvm virtio versus xen block devices)
