This may be something unrelated (qemu bug?), but I feel I should mention-

When I boot livecds that I've spun with livecd-creator in qemu, the udev step 
takes a painfully long time to complete, and even just hangs a fair percentage 
of the time.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this?  At some point I'll do a little more 
research and file a proper bug.
