It still happens with 4.8.7-1 for me.


But switching the cpu model from Broadwell to Westmere or core2duo fixes the 
issue. Haswell and SandyBridge do not work. So it's related to some feature 
that is in SandyBridge but not in Westmere.

Cheers,
Stefan

Please upgrade to version 4.8.7-1
as it does not exhibit issue you mentioned in a default settings

Bug#844446: linux-image-4.8.0-1-amd64: Fails to boot on qemu/kvm

2016-11-17 Thread Santiago Vila 
Hi.

The following workaround worked for me:

Try setting the CPU type to be a "simple old CPU" without a lot of
features. For example, the following change fixed the problem in my
case:

--- a/libvirt/qemu/machine.xml
+++ b/libvirt/qemu/machine.xml
@@ -19,8 +19,8 @@ or other application using the libvirt API.
 
 
   
-  
-
+  
+core2duo
   
   
 

Can you try that and see what happens?

Thanks.

I can reproduce this as well.

Also running a stretch VM on a jessie KVM/qemu/libvirt host.
My KVM host is a i5-6400 running linux 3.16.36-1+deb8u2.

Thanks.

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.8.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am running a stretch VM on a jessie KVM/qemu/libvirt host. After the 
upgrade to 4.8.5 the system does not boot anymore. Booting the 4.7 kernel 
works.

If I start normally, systemd hangs starting some early units (like 
keyboard layout).  The console log from 'emergency' boot is attached and 
shows various oopses and backtraces.

The qemu command line on the host is (with some ids replaced):
