 Yes, the exact same thing happened here, and I suspect it is related to
 older cpus that don't get any Spectre/Meltdown updates.

Follow up: The current kernel (kernel-2.6.32-754.6.3.el6.x86_64) seems to be 
usable again. No issues so far ...

It seems that the default bugzilla classification doesn't allow bug reports 
associated 
with the kernel to get a read status or so ... just to summarize the status 
briefly: 
They fortunately can reproduce the problem and are trying to find the cause 
now. So, +1!

 Is there any chance that this is related? Could you try downgrading
 qemu-img/qemu-kvm and see if it helps?

Heh, heh. We're starting to replace the servers that we got when I was
first here... in '09 and '10 and '11. But then, I'm a contractor at a US
federal gov't agency in the civilian sector, and budgets, um, right, LOL.
Next time someone complains about "waste of tax dollars", why, just last
year, or was it earlier this year, we finally retired a few servers that
had actual SCSI drives

The only problems we've had on the latest C 7 kernels *seem* to be related
to a specific Intel chip or two. Otherwise, the older servers work just
fine.

I am going to say from chip and OEM manufacturers view points: yes. For at
least the last 15 years, they have priced out their hardware to have a 4-6
year lifetime. Consumers of said hardware are supposed to plan around that
with magical budget money and replace their hardware regularly. Since
rarely do people have said money, we have mostly gotten away with having
not having to do so because big things like this don't happen very often.
[The last big one was all the working hardware people had to get rid of for
Y2K.]

The fixes to the old hardware are going to be problematic for a lot of
different reasons (Intel isn't fixing its microcode, backporting deep
kernel rewrites to very old kernels tends to crash a lot, etc.) I would
recommend one of the following strategies:

1. Let your budget know that there will be a lot of replacements coming up.
Replace hardware as you can.
2. Make a decision about what your security risk is for this problem, stick
to an old kernel and put virtual systems which match your security risk on
the old hardware.
3. Test a newer kernel/release on the hardware and see if the problem does
not occur on it. If it does, then it is doubtful that the fix can be
backported until it is fixed in the newer version. If it doesn't then it
might help figure out where the breakage is.

Simon, downgrading does not fix the problem in my case. I upgraded to the 3.5 
kernel, disabled libvirtd and libvirtd-guests, and rebooted. Once the machine 
was up, I started the libvirtd service and the machine crashed immediately.

Old: qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.506.el6_10.1, qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.506.el6_10.1 (crash 
on 2.6.32-754.3.5)
New: qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.503.el6_9.6,  qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.503.el6_9.6  (crash 
on 2.6.32-754.3.5)

In Leon's and my case, the culprit is kernel 2.6.32-754.3.5. In CentOS bug 
0015067, the bad kernel is 2.6.32-754.2.1, wich works fine here. The difference 
might be how different cpus are handled.

Thanks to pointing to that bug report. 

I downgraded from 

qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.506.el6_10.1.x86_64
qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.506.el6_10.1.x86_64 

to 

qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.503.el6_9.6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.503.el6_9.6.x86_64

and booted into

kernel-2.6.32-754.3.5.el6.x86_64

unfortunately no positiv effect.

The system/host/workstation crashes/panics immediately after 
starting a guest system (EL6) with virsh start guest-name.

Doesn downgrading qemu as I proposed in the other mail fix it in your case?

I'm interested because in my case I'm having the issue on two older AMD

Yes, the exact same thing happened here, and I suspect it is related to older 
cpus that don't get any Spectre/Meltdown updates.

IBM x3250

This is a dual-core cpu of similar vintage to yours (can we have a model #?),

Is there any chance that this is related? Could you try downgrading
qemu-img/qemu-kvm and see if it helps?

So looking at the kernel changelog, there are a lot of KVM changes which
look related to the Spectre and related CVE items. All of them seem to have
landed in a non-released kernel.. I am going to guess you are tickling one
of them so hopefully the oops will help figure it out. The only other item
I would wonder is if there is a BIOS update need again due to Spectre but
that would be a last thing to try.
