Yes, the KVM from rawhide is not compatible with the BIOS from F12, so this sounds like a bug in virt-preview What's the best channel for reporting issues with the virt-preview packages?

[libvirt] libvirt 0.7.5 vs qemu 0.12.1 imcompatability?
The update from qemu 0.11.0 to qemu 0.12.1 in the virt-preview repository seems to have broken things. Starting a VM now just gives me a blank screen and a log which says: Option 'ipv4': Use 'on' or 'off' Failed to parse yes for dummy.ipv4 I assume libvirt is sending a it a command on the monitor interface that it no longer understands...

Well something is wrong because I just get a black screen. I don't even get the BIOS messages since I updated this morning. Downgrading back to the fedora-updates version of qemu makes it work again. BTW the trigger for that warning seems to be that I have listen='0.0.0.0' set on the vnc adaptor to allow connections from remote machines, which causes libvirt to build a qemu command line with -vnc 0.0.0.0:0.

If you start your VM with -kernel $image, there's a bug in qemu-0.12.1(.1?), which is fixed in 0.12.1.2. Downgrading back to the fedora-updates version of qemu makes it work again.

Hi Tom, I've had similar trouble with old bios images.
