Can't guess, so a debugging patch.

Please install a kvm.git kernel and qemu.git qemu, both from the 
simultaenous-exceptions branch.  kvm.git is very similar to 2.5.32-rc5, 
except for kvm changes.  Please enable ftrace in the kernel.

For starters, run your guest; instead of dmesg errors it should print 
something on stderr and freeze.  Please report those messages, as well 
as the output of the following monitor commands:

   (qemu) info registers
   (qemu) x/30i $eip-20

You can find kvm.git and qemu-kvm.git in

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm.git
   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git

remember, the simultaneous-exceptions branch, or we don't get any output.
