Thanks for the reply, I am not sure how to get the exact messages
since they are early in the boot.  Any suggestions?
Some additional background:

-I originally installed on KVM-88 which worked in 64-bit mode (F11).
-After upgrading to F12 I encountered the above problem on the
installed image using latest qemu-kvm and fedora kernel KVM modules.
-After booting the live CD in 32-bit mode and installing.  The
installed image now  works in 64-bit mode

Thanks.
