strange as you state above rhel5.1 i386 how can you run qemu-system-x86_64? 64bit guest are not run on 32bit host (afaik). > Starting with the Avi's patch over the weekend, all of my SMP guests (running > stock RHEL 3.8, RHEL 4.4, and RHEL 5.0) now boot just fine. > > > Are you adding any kernel options to the guest boot? If not, try adding > 'noapic'. i don't have any kernel option (what's more as you can see from the xml and the command line acpi is enabled for kvm). i'll check 'noapic' on wednesday:-( > While debugging this issue, you might try downloading the kvm tar balls and > building/installing from it -- removing the rpms first of course to make sure > there are not conflicts -- and running qemu directly rather than through > virtmanager. as i build myself the kvm rpm i download and compile them to one the same machine in the x86_64 centos-5 guest. ps. please break lines around 75-80 chars otherwise it's almost unreadable in this case. > david > > > Farkas Levente wrote: >> david ahern wrote: >>> Can you post the full qemu command that gets launched in each case? >> this is the current running one, the only difference when smp set is -smp 4: >> >> root 3270 10.3 25.8 2213976 2111868 ?
