When I installed SL7alpha1 using pxe on SL6.5 host I got a similar problem with 1GB RAM and 1 CPU on the guest. Ever since I have used 2GB and 2 CPU with no problems.
I've not tried SL7Beta1 yet.
Cheers

> Yesterday (25 July) I tried to install SL7 as a guest vm on a 6.5 host system (install over network from the os subdirectory using an official mirror). I could proceed up to the message „creating domain …“ (and the new domain was added to the domain list in virt-manager). The vnc window opened, a message alike „connecting ….“ appeared and than the window got black and empty. Virt-manager indicated some activity for the domain, but after several seconds all activities ceased, nothing happened anymore. When I moved the mouse pointer over that black window, the pointer disappeared  (for the first seconds I could move the mouse pointer over that black window).
