Nope, looks like udev is there.

Sorry, cut and paste of older file.  Fixed.

Yeah.  It gets as far as this (which surprised me since I grabbed a recent
qemu-kvm that should have virtio-serial support)

Failed to connect to virtio-serial channel.

This is a fatal error and the appliance will now exit.

Usually this error is caused by either QEMU or the appliance
kernel not supporting the vmchannel method that the
libguestfs library chose to use.  Please run
'libguestfs-test-tool' and provide the complete, unedited
output to the libguestfs developers, either in a bug report
or on the libguestfs redhat com mailing list.
