Sounds like your problem only occurs on older versions of Ubuntu, so
moving this to the QEMU-Ubuntu bug tracker.
** Project changed: qemu => qemu (Ubuntu)

Title:
[nested] virt-install falls to SLOF
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
[nested] virt-install falls to SLOF: after starting installer (ISO/CDROM), it
crashes w/ a kernel panic due to an HTM (Hardware Transactional Memory)
exception.
Scenario:
Host=Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (Ubuntu KVM ppc64el POWER8E 8247-22L)
Guest=Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (Ubuntu Xenial Cloud Image QCOW2)
Nested=Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (Ubuntu Xenial Server ISO *or* NetInstall mini.iso)
Inside Guest (1st level), run virt-install as shown below to reproduce
the bug.
Facts:
* ISO images (from both Server or netinstall mini.iso) fail to boot on
xenial/yakkety
* Cloud image (xenial/yakkety/zesty) on nested virt boots fine, the login
prompt is seen.
* Reproducible with Xenial and Yakkety
* NOT reproducible with Zesty (Installer menu starts just normally)
* virtio-scsi, virtio-net and virtio-blk modules are seen in zesty. Only
virtio-scsi is seen on xenial/yakkety (-net and -blk are built-in modules?)
* kvm-pr is loaded for all tested scenarios
* This patch[1] rings a bell, however, it doesn't explain how cloud images
boot just fine and don't hit the bug, since the kernel used in the cloud images
also enable HTM[2].

WARNING CDROM media does not print to the text console by default, so you
likely will not see text install output. You might want to use --location. See
the man page for examples of using --location with CDROM media
