Thanks everyone for the positive thoughts and feedback.  Turns out that 
it was a problem with my 7.10 which is an upgraded 7.04 which was an 
upgraded 6.10 which was originally a 6.06.  Today I backed /home, booted 
from 8.04 LTS, post-installed 281 patches, restored /home, rebooted 
several times in the process.  Installed qemu on this fresh install and 
all the problems I was having have disappeared.
