Adding to that:
By the way, if you want to run FC6 i386 or x86_64 in QEMU, you need the patches 
I just attached to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207843
This is already upstream (in fact I extracted the relevant change from upstream 
CVS). I hope this can be put into the FE package quickly, because FC6's qemu 
not running FC6 itself isn't very nice. ;-)
