Subject: regression in v3.9? a guest stuck in BIOS if emulate_invalid_guest_state=Y
Date: Tue, 07 May 2013 18:55:23 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5188CF8B.8040809@ce.jp.nec.com> (raw)

Hello,

With v3.9 kernel and Nehalem CPU (i.e. unrestricted_guest=N),
a guest stuck during boot (seemingly in BIOS).
When setting emulate_invalid_guest_state=0, it does boot.
(With v3.8 kernel and older, the guest used to boot fine by default.)

The userspace is qemu-kvm of RHEL6.
It seems the guest boots up fine with upstream qemu 1.4.1.

Is this a kernel bug? Or is the userspace just too old to run on v3.9?
