As a simpler test, I tried booting the fedora 10 installer.  Similar to 
my existing VMs, it boots, but when it tries to launch the display, it 
hangs and 100% cpu usage occurs.  I tried with the std, vmware and 
cirrus vga adapters and the same thing happened each time.  Although 
with cirrus the CPU usage isn't as high, but it still hangs.
