RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2 require some CPU features that are not present in all qemu-kvm CPU models. Consequently, Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2 do not boot they if certain CPU models are used, namely Opteron_G1, Conroe, and kvm64. To work around this problem, use CPU models that include the features required by Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012 R2, for example Penryn, Nehalem, Westmere, SandyBridge, Haswell, Opteron_G2, Opteron_G3, Opteron_G4, Opteron_G5.

Actual results:
win8.1.x86_64 / win2012r2 guest will circling reboot when boot with -cpu 'Conroe'

Expected results:
win8.1.x86_64 / win2012r2 guest boot successfully w/ -cpu 'Conroe'

Additional info:
1. With -cpu 'Penryn' / 'Nehalem' / 'Westmere' / 'SandyBridge' / 'Haswell' / 'host' can't hit this problem.

2. win2012 / win8.1.i386 / win8.0 guest doesn't hit this problem.

Comment 5 Eduardo Habkost 2014-02-24 23:35:00 UTC 
Win 8.1 and 2012R2 require the CX16 (CMPXCHG16B) CPU feature, which is not present on Conroe, kvm64, and Opteron_G1. Please confirm it is not reproducible using "-cpu ...,+cx16".
Comment 6 lijin 2014-02-25 05:01:48 UTC 
boot win2k12R2 guest with "-cpu kvm64,+cx16",still hit this issue.

win2012r2 guest can boot successfully with -cpu 'Conroe',+cx16.

Please try using "-cpu kvm64,+cx8,+cx16". There may be other CPU features required by Win2012R2, but we can check if cx8 and cx16 are the only ones.

In either case, we simply need to document that Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012R2 are not compatible with all CPU models.
