It's turned out that using the i386 version of RHEL 6 beta 2 in KVM is 
also unusable.  Marginally better than the x86_64 version, but still 
extremely flaky for some important things. (ie having a network connection)

Uninstalling KVM on my local F13 system, and using VirtualBox instead, 
is working decently.  Using the x86_64 version of RHEL 6 beta 2 in a 
VirtualBox VM, and so far it's behaving properly, with no crashes nor 
flakiness.  (about 2 hours use so far though)

libvirt (git head) has compiled decently, so this looks workable for now.

Guess that I'll try it again under KVM once RHEL 6 beta 3 is out. :)

Regards and best wishes,
