Binary package hint: virt-manager

I am unable to start any Linux Virtual Machine that is not of Debian
decent. I have tried Ubuntu, Debian Etch, Debian Lenny, Parsix, Elive,
Mepis and Fluxbuntu. All these distros of Debian heritage run fine.
Anything else gives the error: "Attempted DOS System Call" on boot-up.
The Fedora Live-CD will not boot - gives that error from the start. I
can install Foresight Linux, however I get the boot after installation
has completed and the virtual machine is rebooted. I have attached
screenshots. Please let me know any additional information you might
need. I'm reporting this as a virt-manager error rather than a kvm error
because I can start the virtual machines from the command line w/
kvm...the problem only exists when using virt-manager.
