yes, I see my sentence was not complete, although it non-explicitly said 
Centos 7 (qemu package version).

So, host is Centos 7 updated to the latest (no fasttrack repo, but 
cr(rolling) yes) and quests are(if not gone now?)  Centos 6.10.

virsh start such a guest okey, complains of nothing, no errors but guess 
does not boot. I see qemu BIOS and boot menu but when it comes to 
booting the OS/grub/kernel, then this does not happen.

Checking qcow image with qemu confirms images are free of errors, etc. I 
can mount these Centos guests okey, filesystem seems good.

I do not want to downgrade just yet, but will have to check that option 
soon.
