The qemu-kvm-0.12.2-r2 revision broke it on my system. It doesn't open any more: hanno@laverne /data/gentoo $ qemu-kvm -m 512 -cdrom install-x86-minimal-20100119.iso -boot d VNC server running on `127.0.0.1:5900' The vnc server message is new. When switching back to -r1, everything works again as expected.

Notice, however, that it's not broken, it just has the sdl use flag disabled by default, so it starts a VNC server instead. Just add the sdl use flag to go back to old behaviour, or use a vnc client to connect to it.
For 0.12.2-r2 the default enabled sdl USE flag was changed to a normal USE flag. So if you dont have a desktop profile or sdl in your own USE flags (globally or for qemu-kvm), you should enable it, when you want to use the sdl-console. Thanks to the clarifying comment #1. Closing as invalid. Feel free to reopen, if the sdl USE flag wasnt the issue.
