[Fixed] Upgraded to latest version and now VM's wont start. Please advice.

Hi Proxmox community,I just upgraded my Proxmox VE 2.0-Beta to the latest version and when I try to start a VM I get this error:

start failed: command '/usr/bin/kvm -id 102 -chardev 'socket,id=monitor,path=/var/run/qemu-server/102.mon,server,nowait' -mon 'chardev=monitor,mode=readline' -vnc unix:/var/run/qemu-server/102.vnc,x509,password -pidfile /var/run/qemu-server/102.pid -daemonize -usbdevice tablet -name bifrost -smp 'sockets=2,cores=1' -nodefaults -boot 'menu=on' -vga cirrus -tdf -k dk -drive 'file=/var/lib/vz/template/iso/debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide2,media=cdrom,aio=native' -device 'ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide2,id=device-ide2,bootindex=200' -drive 'file=/var/lib/vz/images/102/vm-102-disk-1.raw,if=none,id=drive-ide0,aio=native,cache=none' -device 'ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0,id=device-ide0,bootindex=100' -m 2048 -netdev 'type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap102i0,script=/var/lib/qemu-server/pve-bridge' -device 'e1000,mac=1A:AD:39:0E:D1:2E,netdev=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x12,bootindex=300' -cpuunits 1000' failed: exit code 1 pveversion -vpve-manager: 2.0-18 (pve-manager/2.0/16283a5a)running kernel: 2.6.32-6-pveproxmox-ve-2.6.32: 2.0-55pve-kernel-2.6.32-6-pve: 2.6.32-55lvm2: 2.02.88-2pve1clvm: 2.02.88-2pve1corosync-pve: 1.4.1-1openais-pve: 1.1.4-1libqb: 0.6.0-1redhat-cluster-pve: 3.1.8-3pve-cluster: 1.0-17qemu-server: 2.0-13pve-firmware: 1.0-14libpve-common-perl: 1.0-11libpve-access-control: 1.0-5libpve-storage-perl: 2.0-9vncterm: 1.0-2vzctl: 3.0.29-3pve8vzprocps: 2.0.11-2vzquota: 3.0.12-3pve-qemu-kvm: 1.0-1ksm-control-daemon: 1.1-1

Any idea why this is happening?

Sorry about the stupidity, never upgrade a server when you've been awake to long....
Solution: They wouldn't start because keymap was set to Danish. Changed it to default and it worked fine.
