yes, yes and yes:
CentOS 5.5 64-bit at the "Strato HighQ-Server SR-7"
with AMD Quad Opteron 1381 and the qemu from CentOS packages.
It hangs when starting install47.iso (AMD64)
right after I enter ENTER or "-c" or "boot -c"
(I was hoping to enter "disable acpi"...)

I'm locked for 12 months by the Strato's contract
