+### Troubleshooting
+
+Some users have experienced errors complaining about invalid keymaps. This
+seems to be related to having a `common` directory or file in the directory
+they've run Packer in, like the packer source directory. This appears to be an
+upstream bug with qemu, and the best solution for now is to remove the
+file/directory or run in another directory.
