Looks like a bug or bad configuration between host/guest. Let's see. > when booting a linux ISO with QXL SPICE graphics, the boot > hangs as soon as kernel modesetting kicks in.

From the logs of second email: | [ 3.201725] [drm] Initialized qxl 0.1.0 20120117 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 Quite old qxl? Would it be possible to update it? 0.1.5 was released in 2016-12-19 [0], that's almost 5 years of bugfixing, etc. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl/tags/xf86-video-qxl-0.1.5 > I tried to capture some logs, but since the whole guest OS > hangs it's rather hard to pull off.

Maybe just updating the qxl would solve the issue but which configuration you have set in regards to memory for qxl? I see in the logs | [ 3.163127] [drm] qxl: 16M of VRAM memory size | [ 3.163127] [drm] qxl: 63M of IO pages memory ready (VRAM domain) | [ 3.163128] [drm] qxl: 32M of Surface memory size Not sure if driver is using UMS (old) or KMS mode on Debian... https://www.spice-space.org/multiple-monitors.html > as far as ovirt versions im on the latest, this is a rather > fresh install. just set it up a few days ago, but i've been a > long time ovirt user.
