I can't seem to get Win8 up and running in a VM built on Ubuntu with VirtualManager. Is there something about it that prevents running as a guest? It gets as far as the screen below:

and then it's just: enter image description here

Edit:
I'm running a core i7 2630M, with 2G of mem and 1/2 processors allocated (tried both). XP works fine on the exact same VM configuration.

How about some hardware specs? VT? Have you confirmed qemu provides the requirements to host Win 8? Have you tried anything in attempts to get it working? – techie007 Sep 24 '11 at 16:15
You can definitely run win8 guest in kvm. I can confirm that.. – Lelouch Lamperouge Mar 19 at 1:41

I believe Win8 requires VT-x. See this article for getting it working on VirtualBox, for example.

The i7 2630QM has VT-x; the only two V techs not on that chip are the Vt-d (directed I/O) and Trusted Execution. – Bryan Agee Sep 24 '11 at 16:55
