Public bug reported: This is a regression - I was using iPXE last night just fine on the same hardware (an i7-860)
I've got a guest (xml attached) with no discs that I'm trying to netboot, but as soon as iPXE starts I see: iPXE (PCI 00:03.0) starting execution... and it stops - the libvirt log shows: KVM: entry failed, hardware error 0x80000021 If you're running a guest on an Intel machine without unrestricted mode support, the failure can be most likely due to the guest entering an invalid state for Intel VT. For example, the guest maybe running in big real mode which is not supported on less recent Intel processors.
