I've been following the instructions on http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~somlo/OSXKVM/ to get OS X to run on Qemu. I have tried both Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard, Snow Leopard seems to go into an endless reboot loop and Mountain Lion fails with following log entries:

Booting from ca00:003c I see the apple boot logo for half a second until it reboots again. If anyone has a clue on what is going wrong here, please let me know. Thanks, Jochen
