After some testing, I have found a possible cause. The instance with SMP and CentOS i386 seems to boot fine when using a different clocksource.
You can test this by booting the CD/DVD image with: linux clocksource=acpi_pm I have tested the KVM clocksource and the acpi_pm clocksource several times and the KVM one always seems to crash. The acpi_pm one always works. This might be a bug in de CentOS kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/795717 Title: 32bit rhel and centos 5.(5|6) hangs on boot on natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu-kvm/+bug/795717/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
