Compiled 3.1.0-rc3+ from source (see attached config file) and updated 
the host(fc14) kernel ;
So host is now running 3.1.0-rc3+

Now I also want to try to boot FC14 guest with this updated kernel , 
like this -

./qemu-kvm-virtfs -drive file=/home/onkar/bin/v9fs-guest.img,if=virtio 
-m 1024 -smp 4 -net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:46:26:84,model=virtio -net 
tap,script=./qemu-ifup,ifname=vnet1 --enable-kvm -vnc :10 -kernel 
/boot/vmlinuz-3.1.0-rc3p -initrd /boot/initrd-3.1.0-rc3p.img -append 
'root=UUID=97e4bdfa-c88b-4e1f-8609-10f76d6a35fa' -monitor stdio

-append 'root=UUID=97e4bdfa-c88b-4e1f-8609-10f76d6a35fa'
has come from guest grub/menu.lst file generated during installation , 
which looks like this :

=====================================================================
title Fedora (2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64)
     root (hd0,0)
     kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 ro 
root=UUID=97e4bdfa-c88b-4e1f-8609-10f76d6a35fa rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM 
rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us 
rhgb quiet
     initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64.img
=====================================================================

But, the guest freezes with error (see screen shot attached) when tried 
to run
with the updated kernel ..

Trying to debug this for long time now , no clue on what's going on ..

Please help. Has anyone noticed something like this before ?
