Maybe the MOL patchery to circumvent split real mode doesn't work? Maybe there's something not working with the dcbz32 patchery? You could try to trace the guest through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing and see where it's stuck. You can also tell XNU to be more verbose by passing in a debug= parameter - though I don't remember the exact syntax anymore. SMP should be fine. The reason XNU doesn't work with QEMU + KVM is split real mode. We don't emulate that one properly in KVM yet. Alex
