kernel-2.6.32-131.17.1.el6.x86_64 (after update and currently)

After update:

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.8.x86_64

After downgrade:

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.113.el6_0.8.x86_64

Prior to installing the CR repo the host was up to date with the CentOS base 
and updates repos (not many packages different from the release ISO).  After, 
it was up to date with the CR repo and the VM would not start.  The host is now 
up to date with the CR repo except that libvirt* pyton-libvirt and qemu-kvm 
have all been downgraded to what was up to date for the CentOS base and updates 
repos.

By "won't boot" I mean that "running" a VM via virt-manager showed only a black 
screen with the CPU usage graphic in virt-manager at a steady state.  No error 
messages, only a black screen.

If no one else has seen this I will look to the cent-virt mailing list as 
suggested.  I am assuming however, that this is a CR repo issue.
