The error is: > qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-rymjPd/qemu-2.8+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1805: > kvm_put_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed. This is a kernel problem. There is some discussion on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1661386 Are you running libguestfs on top of VMware? It appears there's some dispute over exactly who is to blame for the problem, but you may be able to work around it by using QEMU's software emulation instead of KVM: export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND_SETTINGS=force_tcg (http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#force_tcg) Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines.
