After updating my KVM to a newer version,I cannot install windows7 anymore.

Following is the command to install:

virt-install --name win7 --memory 8192 --vcpu sockets=1,cores=8,threads=1 \
--cdrom=/usr/local/kvm/iso/win7.iso \
--disk path=/usr/local/kvm/images/win7.img,size=100,bus=sata \
--network bridge=br0,model=virtio \
--os-type windows --os-variant win7 \
--noautoconsole --accelerate --hvm \
--graphics vnc,password=123456,listen=0.0.0.0,port=20001 \
--cpu host-passthrough --arch x86_64

I'm sure it worked earlier with the same command until I updated my server two days ago.

It is stuck here: Click here to see pictures

some version Information:

centos7 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64
libvirt 1.2.17

I tried to install windows10 and it's working properly.

Does anyone know about this issue?
