Sorry for the long silence.  Do you still have this setup?  Was
Lenny able to boot on a lenny host and Squeeze able to boot on a
squeeze host?  Can you get a log of the boot failure, e.g. by using
"qemu -nographic"?  (Just hoping to pin down what exactly was broken.)

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
