Is the host RAID array using 4K sectors?
Look at the files in /sys/block/<device>/queue and compare with:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-alignment-scan.1.html#linux_host_block_and_i_o...
Secondly, attach a virtual serial port to the guest and boot it using
the kernel command line parameter: console=ttyS0,115200. Then take a
look at the boot messages.
Thirdly, look at /var/log/libvirt/qemu/*.log
