/usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name Cooker -monitor pty
-no-reboot -boot d -drive
file=/home/frederik/VM/cooker.img,if=ide,index=0 -drive

That seems right at first sight.

Also in a windows virtual machine, where the Windows keyboard is set to
Belgian, this problem does not happen. Only in this installer which
expects us-qwerty.

I'm using KVM 77 on Linux 2.6.27. Is there anything which should be
configured so that virt-manager works like this?

Thanks!
