+
+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 )
