No errors in instance-00000001.log.. just that it says qemu terminating on
signal 15. which is fine and expected i feel.
I had virt_type = qemu all the while now, maybe i will try with virt_type =
kvm now

Am i the only one seeing this issue.. if yes, then I am wondering if there
is somethign really silly in my setup ! :)
