** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
  
  SMP Linux guests are hanging under KVM.  This does not happen always,
  but at least 50% of the time or so.
  
  If I start the guests with "-smp 1" or just completely omit the "-smp"
  parameter this doesn't happen.
  
  I can also say that it doesn't seem to happen on a Nehalem-based 8-core
  Xeon-based machine I've tried it on, but it does happen on both an AMD
  Phenom II 965 machine (the one this bug report is from) as well as an
  AMD Phenom II 1090T-based machine.
  
  I am starting the VMs from the command line, manually running qemu-kvm
  with a command like the following:
  
- qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 1 -cpu host -drive
+ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 4 -cpu host -drive
  file=/var/local/kvm/machine.qcow2,if=virtio,cache=off,boot=on -net
  nic,model=virtio,macaddr=77:88:99:12:34:56 -net tap -nographic
  -daemonize
