The problem might be related to this bug report: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1895893&group_id=180599&atid=893831 Marcelo Tosatti worked hard on getting the bug fixed, but the patch was rejected by the Qemu team because it was not a "proper" fix. Marcelo has been trying to figure out what a proper fix should look like and rework the patch. I don't know what Marcelo's progress has been on the issue. The last working patches Marcelo and others put out which fixes the lock-ups can be found here: http://slim.mypals.org/slim/files/kvm/kvm-64-scsi.patch http://slim.mypals.org/slim/files/kvm/lsi-busy-loop-3a.patch You may try installing those patches on KVM (they can still be applied to KVM-72) and see if they fix your problems. Hope this helps.
