Is this a regression relative to a previous kvm version?

Hello,
sorry for the delay, I was having troubles compiling older KVMs with a
recent kernel...
The last version that works is kvm-21; starting from kvm-22 the VM
hangs during network initialization (now always, but pretty often).
This only occurs when the guest is Fedora7 setup ISO. The regular boot
(i.e. from the hd) seems unaffected.

I've managed to reproduce this on kvm-21 (it takes many boots for this to happen, but it does eventually).
