You should be running qemu-kvm, as a user with rw permissions on /dev/kvm. ie. 
root or group kvm.If you are running Fedora off the same disk the access 
definitely might be slowed, but should work in reasonable time.

I'm not sure about the command as you showed it, I run a number of VMs on this 
machine (this is a VM), and I would expect to use something like:
   qemu-kvm -m 768 -hda /dev/sda -net nic -vga-std

or similar as a start.
