Hi Garrett
I propose the change to workaround the problem for now to make qemu-kvm
more usable. It is not a proper fix I agree.
Without --enable-debug, CentOS 6 ISO fails to uncompress initial ramdisk
and kernel is unable to find root device because of that . Illumos
guests get stuck at boot and are not usable at all. Ubuntu guests seem
to be fine.
With --enable-debug CentOS and Illumos guests run fine.
--enable-debug seems to be set by default by Joyent's build.sh sript
used to build Qemu.
We can wait for a proper fix I guess. Robert Mustacchi from Joyent is
looking at the problem already.
In the mean time though qemu-kvm from the repo will have limited use.

This feels like a hack rather than a fix. And a poor one at that. The
upstream bug indicates that the upstream have no such problems, and the failure
seen is indicative of a failure to find the boot device in the guest. I
recommend further investigation.
