So :
- iptables is required by libvirt, so there is a missing requires. Like
1 hour of fun debbuging to found out the exact issue.

- I found out after upgrading qemu and libvirtd ( so again 1 hour of fun
to rebuild on mdv cluster without success )

- kernel-server do not work in qemu, for some reason. Again, 1 hour of
fun to found out. 

Current status : server is booting. 

Soon to be puppetified and installed. ( and kinda documented too )
