empty console log output with grizzly on centOS distribution

[haribabu kasturi]

we tried to boot fedora image f17-x86_64-openstack-sda.qcow2 from openstack grizzley installation, but no console output is generated.

when i look into /var/log/libvirt/qemu/instance-00000067.log after i see a empty console log,

following is the content :

Not an Ubuntu issue, pushing upstream.
