Does this give any information why kvm was terminated and my whole
machine locked-up?

I'm running 2.6.25 on x86_64 with kvm-intel and kvm version 60.  The
CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU U7600 @ 1.20GHz.  The kvm instance
is a 32 bit x86 installation.  Both running Debian.


It looks like host state leaked into the guest state. The register state is consistent with a 64-bit guest, while you're running a 32-bit guest. The guest EFER is still consistent with a 32-bit guest, which is why you got the abort.

Presumably some guest state also leaked into the host, which is why the host locked up.

Can you post your .config? were you running more than one guest on the machine? were you running a debugger concurrently? anything else out of the ordinary? do you recall the exact phase of the moon?
