The culprit seems to be a soft lockup during shutdown because of the smp code. Adding nosmp command line option to the guest kernel does not cause this problem. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/30 Purna Chandar <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:purnachandar.midi@oneconvergence.com">purnachandar.midi@oneconvergence.com</a>&gt;</span><br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi,<br>I have compiled qemu 0.11.0 for x86 64 bit. I run Fedora Core 10 64 bit as my guest OS. <br>


Sometimes, when I shutdown the guest OS gracefully (using halt command), I see a kernel crash with a stack trace on guest OS window at <b>native_machine_shutdown()</b>. The RIP points to <b>native_smp_send_stop()</b>. This doesn&#39;t happen on every shutdown/reboot though.<br>



<br>I did see this issue in older versions of qemu too(0.10.0 and 0.10.6). This could be a minor issue for most of you but I need to fix this because I run some automated scripts on the guest OS which reboots it.<br><br>


Does anybody has a fix or any other idea to get around this issue?<br>
<br>Any bit of help on this would be really helpful.<br><br>Thanks,<br>PurnaChandar M<br>
