There was a host oops fixed in kvm-36 so upgrading may help you. exactly. i've got 4 phisical core (Intel Core 2 Quad) and i try to give 4 cpus for 2 guests and 2 cpus for a third guest and restart libvirtd. the result was that even the host system crash without any stack trace or kernel panic and only the hard reset helps. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
