and also, while im at it ... one more detail might be interesting:  rebooting the machine works just fine --- only the VMs fail when i reboot the host.
 any specific thoughts on that ?

Hi Giuseppe... !  Thanks for the hint. ill try it.

 So from the docs, I'm seeing this:

"As of Fedora 16 there must be a biosboot partition for the bootloader to be installed successfully onto a disk that contains a GPT/GUID partition table, which includes disks initialized by anaconda. This partition may be created with the kickstart option part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1. However, in the case that a disk has an existing biosboot partition, adding a "part biosboot" option is unnecessary."

So maybe you are suggesting that, the Kickstart file needs to define the boot info, because im installing from source and not from an ISO ?

in the kickstart file generated by libosinfo for Fedora 20
(osinfo-install-script fedora20), I see this line:

part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1

Could you try adding it to your kickstart file just after "clearpart"?
