I've just got an upgrade to KVM-58 as part of the latest Fedora.

Unfortunately my existing VM (a Windows 2008 Server instance) no longer boots. In fact it hardly gets anywhere at all. Immediately after running qemu-kvm, I just get a black screen (no BIOS/boot messages at all) and using 100% of CPU.

No kernel messages. 'strace' indicates that qemu-kvm is doing a lot of stuff (issuing lots of ioctl, gettimeofday, etc.).

I can get to the qemu monitor.  Are there any useful commands to issue?

'info blockstats' shows a single 512 byte read from ide-hd0, presumably it has read the boot sector but for some reason cannot boot from it.

Any ideas on what I can do to debug this further?

Can you identify which version of kvm introduced the regression?

kvm-56 for Fedora (from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2261) *works*.

I will try to build an RPM based on KVM-57 and see what that does, but at the moment it seems to be somewhere between KVM-56 and now.
