I am no longer able to reproduce this issue on a fully-updated server. My guess is that the issue was fixed in the kernel somewhere between 3.12 and 4.0, but for all I know it could be a Qemu (or even Seabios) change. Here are details of my test that failed and the one that succeeded. Breaks (VM h

For the benefit of the last commenter and anyone else who comes across this ticket: As determined on the mailing list in June, the bug appears to be with KVM's apicv on processors that support the feature. I haven't heard anything about a fix, but the best workaround is to disable apicv when loadi

Our KVM hosts run CentOS 6 plus a custom 3.12 kernel rather than Ubuntu or Debian, so I won't be able to use the PPA directly. However, I will build and test with the latest Qemu git sources. On Jun 16, 2014, at 12:17 PM, Serge Hallyn <1329...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > Hi, > > could you verif

[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1329956] [NEW] multi-core FreeBSD guest hangs after warm reboot

2014-06-14 Thread John Nielsen
Public bug reported: On some Linux KVM hosts in our environment, FreeBSD guests fail to reboot properly if they have more than one CPU (socket, core, and/or thread). They will boot fine the first time, but after issuing a "reboot" command via the OS the guest starts to boot but hangs during SMP in
