Two obvious possibilities:
1 - do you have the right hardware for virtual support or are
     you running pure software emulation?
2 - if you have the right hardware, it it enabled?

I have been running kvm on a proper machine, so I can't really tell you 
how something else would run, but those are the prime reasons why qemu 
and xen work poorly. You never have that problem with kvm, because it 
won't try on a machine without the right hardware. Well, it will if you 
tell it to be software-only qemu, but you get the idea.
