Summary: kvm-86: winxp guest + kvmnet.sys virtio unstable
Initial Comment:
* cpu model: Core i7 920
* kvm version: kvm 86
* host kernel version: 2.6.29.4 debian lenny
* host kernel arch: x86_64
* guest: winxp 32bit sp3
* qemu command line: qemu-system-x86_64 -boot c -hda ./winxp.qcow2 -cdrom
winxp-sp3.iso -smp 2 -m 1024 -vga std -net
nic,model=virtio,vlan=0,macaddr=00:15:60:51:09:BD -net
tap,vlan=0,ifname=tap0,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup -soundhw es1370 -localtime -k
en-us -name XXXX -usb
When using kvmnet.sys in guest winxp32, guest crashes ( blue-screen with
IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL most common ) on complex web2.0 browser pages ( lots of
ajax and form fields ). Switching back to default rtl8139 driver ( ie remove
model=virtio from command line options ) gets system back to being very stable.
Reproduced crash using all permutations of kvm-85 and 2.6.26 kernel also.

Message:
You need virtio drivers more recent than 1.0.8 for this to work with a
recent KVM. You can get updated drivers here:

Once we'll get authorization to release new windows drivers it will get
solved.
