VM test xml

Description of problem:
After one of the newer update all my newly created VMs are freezing with black screen. I did some investigation with libvirt guy and we have find out that this happens only on machine='pc-i440fx-2.4'. When I change this value to machine='pc-i440fx-2.3' it's working correctly again.
Every VM created before the update is working.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
QEMU emulator version 2.4.1 (qemu-2.4.1-8.fc23)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new virtual machine with Virtual Machine Manager
2. Start this virtual machine

Actual results:
Nothing is shown in the screen and the CPU have 100%.

Expected results:
Start the installation from PXE.

Additional info:
Attaching xml file of my VM. When you edit this XML to 2.3 machine version it will work correctly.

I spent more time on this issue and it seems I had old version of kernel on that server (badly generated with grub).

With new kernel it's working correctly so I'm closing this issue.
