The kvm/qemu processes weren't run as the `kvm` user anymore in order to fix the file/device ownership changes, but the processes where not correctly configured to use the `kvm` group either. When the user would try to run a virtual machine, the process was denied access to the /dev/kvm device node, preventing the virtual machine to run. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8.3-5+squeeze5. We recommend that you upgrade your libvirt packages.
