Thx for the info, indeed i changed the domain type from qemu to kvm and 
the guess started without -no-kvm, so with kvm support.

was
<domain type='qemu' id='5'>
is now
<domain type='kvm' id='5'>

I don't quite understand why it wasn't set to kvm in the first place, i 
did remember using some kvm option on virt-install command line when 
creating the guest.

thx again i believe it fixed my problem i'll try to see if if can also 
apply to virt-manager which was doing the same thing
