Yeah, I can still reproduce with 0.12.4 on a fedora11 host. Also broken with qemu.git HEAD as of today as well. On the f11 host kvm modules, reverting the referenced commit doesn't help.

Git bisect points to: commit 066263f37701687c64af9d8825e3376d069ebfd4 Author: Andre Przywara <andre.przyw...@amd.com> Date: Mon Dec 7 11:58:02 2009 +0100 cpuid: Fix multicore setup on Intel Reverting this fixes the problem. Different kvm modules seem to affect this install as well. Switching to different kvm-kmod packages: 2.6.32 modules work fine with 0.12.0-rc2, no issues at all 2.6.30 modules fail, reverting the above commit doesn't help, seems to be in the same boat as 2.6.28 modules 2.6.31.5 (roughly equivalent to Fedora11 modules) work on -rc1, fail on rc2, reverting above commit fixes -rc2.
