i noticed this with about 90% of linux distributions i tried in qemu. only after searching for hours did i find this answer so please give it a go.
when booting any linux iso or whatever in qemu, once you get to grub, press whatever key allows you to edit the boot line. usually this is TAB i believe.
once you have the kernel line in front of you, add the option 'noapic' without quotes and boot. this got every linux iso from then on to boot.
hope this helps, cheers
