win2k guest vm won't boot under Fedora 18 KVM

Hi,

I'm looking for some guidance on how to get to the root cause of an
issue that I am observing with a win2k guest that won't boot under
Fedora 18 on one system but will boot on another. A few days ago I
posted on the fedora forum:

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=289401

I can repeat the details in this thread if requested. The issue is that,
with a fresh build of Fedora 18, updated to the most recent kernel and
packages on an external USB ssd, my win2k VM boots on my laptop (Core
i73720QM processor) but does not boot on my desktop system (Core i7-870
processor).

I'm not sure whether this is a kvm issue or a kernel issue. I'll be glad
to dig deeper, just let me what information is needed.

Thanks.
