That might be the reason. Does it break when passing -no-kvm?

None :)

Just the default. I took the SP1 DVD, installed it and booted it up. All
is fine:

$ ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -snapshot
/media/studio/images/SUSE/sles10/sles10sp1.x86_64.raw -vnc :10

Running on Intel might be the culprit though. I'll try and check if
booting the image on an Intel box works.
