Hi Panagiotis,
similar problem was seen at Karlsruhe. Here's the comment from Armin,
who did the install:
It is a problem with the KVM version, recent kernels and hardware
interrupt virtualization. It can be solved by passing "-no-kvm-irqchip"
during the VM startup of the machine.
Hope it helps.

Hi all,
I've been trying to install SL 5.3 as a KVM guest but faced problems
both with x86_64 and i386 version.
I used the latest KVM release.
The x86_64 performs the initial boot from the ISO image but it drops a
kernel panic, while the i386 will completes
installation fine but will not boot after that.
I faced the same problems when I tried installing SL5.2. However, I
tried with a Xen disk image running SL5.2 x86_64
and it worked without any problems.
Anybody else seen the same behaviour?
Regards,
Panos
