I've seen this issue before where the UART hangs, and I can't put my finger on what was causing it right now. At any rate there's a few things you can look into: (1) Try with LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct (without forcing TCG). (2) Is it using nested KVM? Is nested KVM enabled in the KVM module in the host kernel: # systool -m kvm_intel -v | grep nested (should say "Y" if yes) If nested KVM is enabled, you can disable it (probably requires a reboot unfortunately). Or if disabled, try enabling it.
