Bug 446924

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #446830 +++

We are seeing F9 and Rawhide, when launched as a guest in kvm (whether throuhg
virt-manager or command line in qemu-kvm) will get through grub, then loose it's
vnc connection, and eventually seg fault. 

This tasks resolves this issue on f9. Perhaps it should be backported:

I get the following debug output on f8.
