Same infinite loop, alas...
(i) What is your host kernel exactly?
3.7.5-201.fc18.x86_64 (booted from EFI on a MacBookPro 8,3).
(ii) And when you say you did a "legacy boot", does that mean you installed the guest OS as a traditional one? Is that grub or grub-efi?
That one was a traditional install. I've just now tested an EFI install of Fedora 17, which also reboots fine; both from grub and the installed kernel. It *doesn't* seem to hit the SeaBIOS CSM on the way back, but reboots directly into OVMF.
I have two versions of qemu; the Fedora 18 one (1.2.0) and a locally-rebuilt copy of the Fedora rawhide 1.3.0, which I installed because OVMF's native video driver doesn't work in 1.2.0. Not that that matters any more since I've disabled that and I'm using the VGA BIOS.
There's also a current build from qemu git. They all behave the same way, both with and without KVM.
(iii) Can vgabios.bin make a difference? Could you please upload your build? I gather you use stdvga; I also tried that, makes no difference, same loop.
This shouldn't make a difference. For the old vgabios, I only have the alignment fix, and no video would work if you didn't have that. http://david.woodhou.se/vgabios-cirrus.bin
