It was working correctly before, up to kvm version 37. I also confirm that using -no-acpi fixes the problem. However, I have seen strange data corruption, even on Intel. Basically, booting a recently installed FreeBSD leads to the following message from the bootloader: "No kernel found". And the next time, I get from the *BIOS*: "Boot from Hard Disk failed: not a bootable disk". Looking at the disk image, the partition table (and maybe more?) has disappeared. This is with a raw image disk. If I pass either -no-kvm or -no-kvm-irqchip, the problem disappear. -- .''`.
