The fact that a fresh VNC connection to the guest works (but the mouse doesn't move) means that qemu-kvm itself is not completely locked up. The VNC server runs in a qemu-kvm thread. So this seems to be a problem inside the guest that causes it to consume 100% CPU. One way to confirm this is to run pidstat(1): $ pidstat -p $PID 1 11:05:51 PID %usr %system %guest %CPU CPU Command 11:06:05 26994 65.00 0.00 98.00 163.00 1 kvm The %guest value is the percentage spent executing guest code. The %usr time is the percentage spent executing qemu-kvm userspace code. I'm guessing you will see >80% %guest. In my example I was running while true; do true; done inside the guest :). Perhaps Avi can suggest kvm_stat or other techniques to discover what exactly this guest is doing.
