Lost with this one. Installed Mageia and Mint (thnx to Linux Format).
Both worked fine.
Then tried calculate and ok. No messgaes in log other than emulation
failure suberror :1 in terminal.

Reinstalled gentoo with X and all worked ok. Must have been a bad image!

The only thing I did different was use ext3 instead of reiserfs and
change -march from k8 to native. Although on bad guest remerged all
packages with native and still did not work.

Happy now gentoo kvm is working. It's blinding quick.

Thanks for suggestion of using system rescue.
