Works fine here but I'm using AMD. Please file a Fedora bug against qemu, and
include:

- full qemu command line (if using libvirt: /var/log/libvirt/qemu/$vmname.log)
- Any qemu stdout/stderr output
- Check dmesg for any kvm errors
- Try booting an older Fedora 20 kernel and see if it makes any difference
- Optionally try a rawhide kernel: sudo yum install fedora-release-rawhide &&
sudo yum --enablrepo=rawhide update kernel

Thanks,
Cole
