There is no need to remove that parameter. That tells QEMU to initially
start with the guest CPUs stopped. This gives libvirt a chance to do some
initialization of QEMU first. Libvirt will then explicitly tell QEMU to
start the CPUs.

IOW, the existance of -S on the command line libvirt uses is likely not
related to whatever problem you have with running the guest.
