Same happen to Suse 64 host/64 guest system (Suse 10.1). A 32-bit guest system install quite well.
My trace shows the same symptom: Qemu seems to loop in a very tight loop. Sometimes (using infoe registers rapidly) I can even see that it seems to switch to 32bit mode inside the guest kernel maybe because a 32 bit application is running? No kqemu is involved when running the 64bit guest, started with -no-kqemu. As mike wrote: any hint how I can help to tackle the problem is appreciated.
