[fedora-virt] Creating a F14 VM on a F13 host crashes host

When I try to install an F14 VM on on an up-to-date F13 host using virt-manager.  It crashes the host.  I have tried this twice and it happened in exactly the same spot.  After you specify the ISO medium and the VM OS type, version, and an LVM volume, it starts to boot, you select the Install option and then it crashes.  Has anyone else seen this?  I might expect a failure to create a VM, but not to crash the entire host OS.  The host has had over 5 VMs and never had a problem.

I did try creating an F11 VM using virt-manager on the same F13 host is going fine.  It looked like it was going to succeed, but then crashed the host after it had installed all the packages for the new VM and was in the process of rebooting.  So now I feel something is corrupted.  I have created F11 hosts under F11 previously.  Thank you for any information on resolving this.
