The error looks very similar to the one reported here:

But I believe that reported issue should not appear in recent qemu,
since SSE3 is now emulated (right?). (At least the patch in the end of
that thread seems to already be included in the sources?)

Yes, this patch was included, but it doesn't solve that problem. As this
message
[http://www.mail-archive.com/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/msg03972.html]
states, the 'monitor' and the 'mwait' instructions have not been added.
But your guest OS assumes them to be present, because your host cpu has
the MONITOR flag set in CPUID.
I see; so the issue I reported is in fact the exact same issue as the
one reported in march. And the situation is that we are waiting for some
kind soul to implement the monitor/mwait instructions (and according to
Fabrice in that thread "doing nops should suffice").
(While I am able to boot with idle=halt, I'm still worried that some
other software than Linux idle function will happen to also use the
wrongly declared MONITOR feautre and crash the emulated host...)
Best regards,
