I am now running kernel version 3.12 and the problem still exists. If I start a first KVM guest with -smp 2 it runs fine. As soon as I start another KVM guest on the same host also with -smp 2, the first one gets extremely slow. I can type one character per second via ssh. I do not see any messages from the second guest, so it seems to hang or is very slow. If I start the second kVM guest without -smp 2 both guests seem to work fine. I get the following messages on the host, but I do not know whether they are relevant. kvm: SMP vm created on host with unstable TSC; guest TSC will not be reliable qemu-system-x86: sending ioctl 5326 to a partition! qemu-system-x86: sending ioctl 80200204 to a partition! kvm [409]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0xc0010001 kvm [409]: vcpu0 unhandled rdmsr: 0x3a - It is likely that this is not enough information to find the bug, so I would appreciate any help on what I can do to obtain more information about what might be happening here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
