kvm is not ready for production use for many reason: it can't reboot which imho a very basic feature, what's more can't even shutdown/poweroff. the centos i386 guest are not able to shutdown on the x86_64 host (strange the x86_64 centos and the i586 mandrake-9 are able to shutdown) or what's seems to be more likely it's a random think.

Reboot failure is a regression; for shutdown you should enable APCI with "acpi=force"; bochs BIOS doesn't have SMBIOS/DMI tables and Linux may refuse to use ACPI without them (it depends on the configuration).
