To pick up this topic again: The trace contains no clear indication what
is going on. Now I'm trying to understand what works and what not.
Please correct / extend as required:

- qemu-kvm-0.12 problematic-vm.img [OK]
- qemu-kvm-1.0 -M pc-0.12 problematic-vm.img [HANG]
- qemu-kvm-1.0 -M pc-1.0 problematic-vm.img [OK]

In all cases, the image is the same, never reinstalled?

BTW, what is your guest again? What is your VM configuration?

That IOCTL error messages you find in the kernel log likely relate to
direct cdrom access from the qemu process. Do you pass a host drive through?
