I'm seeing the same rtc error but my systems are not hanging. I can still get to them and they seem to handle a good load from time to time, 4 running proc.
Is this a stability or performance issue? If it is a stability issue how do I test it? ----- Original Message ---- From: Jason Wessel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; qemu-devel@nongnu.org Sent: Friday, August 3, 2007 8:18:50 AM Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] Re: Network connections stalling (due to lost interrupts/ticks?) Charles, Are you willing to try an experimental patch? Perhaps you could try the attached patch and post back if it happens to solve your problem. There is most definitely a problem where qemu can get hung up indefinitely after an "interrupt storm". I had not ever submitted it because there is no clean way to do this via the opaque information that is passed around. It seems wrong to have to make the ioapic a global. If this does fix the problem perhaps someone will decide to fix this up in a cleaner fashion via the opaque structures. Jason.
