what qemu image format did you use?
Try using qemu-img to convert the disk to raw format (if it's not
already in that format) and use the resulting file as disk image for
HVM domU. Have you created a HVM domU before? If not, virt-manager can
help you create a suitable config using either existing or new disk
image.

An example HVM domU config that I use is http://pastebin.com/fb6fe631,
adjust vif and disk line according to your setup.
