Hi Zehan,

This is a relatively common error. In fact, even on systems where kvm
works, I sometimes get this error. You may want to try applying the
following patch from reviewboard.

http://reviews.gem5.org/r/2613

Hopefully that solves the problem. If not, you can try this patch, from
Nilay Vaish that I have applied to my gem5 that seems to make kvm work a
little more reliably.

Really, this whole branch on my github may be helpful:

Cheers,
Jason

Hi,



I’m trying to run gem5 SE mode with X86KvmCPU, but get the following error:



Cmdline: build/X86_MOESI_AMD_Base_KVM/gem5.opt --debug-flags=KvmAll
configs/example/se.py --cpu-type=kvm --mem-type=SimpleMemory -c
tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello



…

panic: KVM: Unknown error when starting vCPU (hw reason: 0x80000021)

@ tick 121227000

[handleKvmExitUnknown:build/X86_MOESI_AMD_Base_KVM/cpu/kvm/base.cc, line
1089]

Memory Usage: 761456 KBytes

Program aborted at tick 121227000

…



(The whole error messages with debug-flag=KvmAll are attached.)



Gem5 build options:

       PROTOCOL = 'MOESI_AMD_Base'

TARGET_ISA = 'x86'

USE_KVM = True

CPU_MODELS = 'AtomicSimpleCPU,MinorCPU,O3CPU,TimingSimpleCPU'

Host CPU:

       Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz

Virtualization:        VT-x

OS & Kernel:

       Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)

       Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 10
22:19:54 EST 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux





I’ve tried to run Qemu with KVM acceleration and it succeeded, so it seems
that the KVM installation in my system is OK.



Any suggestions?





Thanks,

Zehan
