Public bug reported:
Host OS: Archlinux
Host Architecture: AMD64
Guest OS: FreeBSD-11.2 (x2) and Archlinux (x1)
Guest Architecture: AMD64
I have been using QEMU 2.x without issue for a number of years but since
updating to QEMU 3.0 my guests do not complete startup.
FreeBSD 11.2 guest failure symptom:
The two FreeBSD-11.2 guests output repeated messages of "unexpected cache type
4". This appears to be an internal error message and I've not found any
instances of it through Google search.
Archlinux guest failure symptom:
The single Archlinux guest gets no further than the message "uncompressing
initial ramdisk".
The guests are started by a qemu-kvm invokation. No virtual machine
managers are used. The command lines used (from ps awx) to launch the
VMs are:
[neil@optimus ~]$ ps awx |grep qemu

The VMs were installed to LVM volumes on the host machine (hence the
/dev/system/vpsN device names). Networking is over a Linux tap interface
connected to a VDE2 virtual network switch.
