Rawhide (2.6.26-rc) guests running on a rawhide host is broken at the moment, because of this: http://www.mail-archive.com/kvm@vger.kernel.org/msg01023.html If you set earlyprintk=serial, you just see the guest hang at e.g.: 0MB HIGHMEM available. 511MB LOWMEM available. To fix rawhide, we can either: 1) Wait for Avi to send a fix to Linus and have the fix pulled in naturally 2) Take whatever fix Avi accepts into git and backporting 3) Just disabling CONFIG_KVM_GUEST for now Since it's been broken for quite a while, I'm just assuming we'll do (1), but that doesn't happen soon we should probably just do (3)
Fix went into Linus's tree just after -rc9: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=ca3739327b89bb
