I have no idea if it is related but I saw something similar using QEMU.  I 
built a raw IA image using the standard kickstart file and tried to boot it 
using QEMU (both on my Debian system and on a Windows system).  In both 
cases, the boot would start but it would shortly crash with a traceback that 
ended in the same line you posted.

I got better results when I made a change to the kickstart file.  I changed:

bootloader --timeout=0 --append="quiet"

to...

bootloader --timeout=10 --append="clock=pit"

The timeout doesn't do anything but the clock setting seemed to help (this is 
from a note in the QEMU documentation).

Now the symptoms are different.  I don't get a crash, I just get a grey screen 
on which "Starting MeeGo..." appears briefly and then disappears.  But no 
terminal.
