Even in a fairly new CVS snapshot this problem ist not solved, at least not on my 64bit openSUSE system. Adding -no-kqemu works, slow but when I try to install a 64bit openSUSE in qemu then GRUB hangs (at the very end end of the installation). This IMHO x86_64 bit support in Qemu is somewhat instable.
One poster proposed to use Lilo instead fo GRUB, didn't check that because -no-kqemu is far to slow to work in some normal way.
