Out of interest, if/when kvm supports smp guests aswell as hosts would
the guest be presented with a multiple virtual or physical cpu's?
Ie. If the guest has multiple virtual cpu's the process would only run
as a single task

Thanks for the clarification. Is SMP support for guests
expected soon?
The FAQ is a bit misleading:
http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/FAQ
It says "Does kvm support SMP hosts? Ye

Boot the /host/ kernel with 'noapic nolapic' and see if that makes a
difference for you.
Hi,
I am only able to bring up a single cpu on my guest even when I
specify a 4 cpu smp config. My test machine
is a two socket dual core woodcrest with 4GB RAM. I am
using a stock RHEL5 kernel on my guest and 2.6.20-rc5
on my host.
The command I used is:
qemu-kvm -hda vdisk2.img -smp 4 -boot
