Re: [Qemu-devel] QEMU-KVM and hardened (GRSEC/PaX) kernel

["Антон Кочков" <anton.kochkov@gmail.com>]

Already changed to Grsecutiry -> Security level -> Virtualization

But issue still here:

qemu-kvm starts, show as running, but nothing inside:

also if i'm connecting to qemu with gdb it show me only one cmd:

add BYTE PTR [rax],al

and it is in infinite

Cpu load = 0%

Bug updated with new logs/info

Best regards,
