Thanks for the report, did you bisect the mmotm series to identify the
root cause? What does your .config look like? I tried kvm with the
patches (mmotm 30th July) and qemu-kvm (30th-july) with a Fedora 11
guest image and the system booted just fine for me.

Could you share your command line as well?
