Hi Richard thanks for the info. I took the strace approach and ran into this looping over and over again. Is it failing to get time?

It looks a lot like the bug you filed here. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553689
I'm fairly sure this is just qemu running as normal. It's not a duplicate of that ancient bug, because you can see from the messages that SeaBIOS is running. You need to `gdb' into the guest to see where the emulation got to.
