I have a dedicated hosted server box with ubuntu 10.04 64 bit installed. I would like to run kvm with ubuntu 8.04 installed for some php 5.2 compatible apps(they don't work right with php 5.3, the default in ubuntu 10.04).
I installed KVM as instructed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation . I installed the vm using virt-manager. I never could figure out how use virt-install or any of those automated installers. I just installed it using the disc. I set up bridged
networking as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking . However, the bridged connection doesn't work.
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces on the host, running ubuntu 10.04. (with specific public ip blanked)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.xx
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway xx.xx.xx.xa
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp on
bridge_fd 0
bridge_maxwait 10
`
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces on the guest, running ubuntu 8.04.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.xy
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway xx.xx.xx.xa
The two vm's can communicate to each other. But, the guest vm can't access anyone in the real world.
Here's my /etc/libvirt/qemu/store_804.xml

Any idea where I've gone wrong?
