David, How exactly are you invoking it? And when you say "it says," which "it"? There's more than one way to start a VM. Which are you using? All we have to go by is your command to virt-clone - which was correct and works for a great many people - and your observation that your cloned VM wouldn't boot. Since the problem's most likely not in virt-clone, we'll need more details on the rest of your procedure to have any chance of spotting where the problem is.

It says: booting from hard disk Booting failed device not bootable FATAL: failed to boot from device.
Or something very similar.

The clone was made with the following command: virt-clone -o centos -n centosclone -f /path/to/new/image.img I've attempted it several times and get the same result. Has anyone seen this or know how to resolve it?
I've often cloned CentOS 5.5 KVM VMs with that same invocation, and no problem.
When you say it's "not bootable," what exactly do you see at time of failure?
