Hard pressed on time... sorry Try the #qemu or #kvm IRC channels on chat.freenode.net. Often people will respond and debug interactively with you there. Your problem does not seem QEMU/KVM related. You'll need to debug the guest's boot process and network configuration just like a physical machine. In fact, I bet with an identical setup on a physical machine you'd see the same problem. Double-check the kernel parameters documentation. See if you have a network configuration in the initramfs or the root filesystem that would cause it to DHCP and how to pull the pre-configured settings from the kernel.
