Description of problem: I'm running few Guests with Different OS ( WindowsXPx32 , Windows2003x32 , Windows2003x64 , Windows2008x32 , Windows2008x64 , Windows2008x64-R2 ) from "Sys prep" sealed templates. Sometimes Windows2008x64 or Windows2008x64-R2 Guests are being stuck after reboot and KVM process consumes 100 percent CPU usage. Avi Kivity ( avi ) saw the problem and he noticed that it's an interrupts related issue , please consult him for the technical details.

What are the steps to reproduce. What is ""Sys prep" sealed template"?
In order to reproduce this issue try to run few VM's from a Windows2008x64 "Sys prep" sealed template on the same host ( usually happens with NFS slow storage ) If you want to read about "Sysprep" technology: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721940%28WS.10%29.aspx If you need any help with reproducing this issue, please contact me.

That is what I am doing! Please explain it here in steps like 1. install Windows2008x64 by running this command 2. do sys prep by running this command 3. ... 4. Profit
Detailed explanations: 1.Install Windows 2008x64 Guest by running VM with the appropriate ISO attached and boot from CD. 2.Answer all installation questions: Computer name , domain name , c.d key e.t.c 3. Seal your VM ( for detailed documentation: http://10.35.255.11/qumrawiki/QA/sysprep ). 4. Stop the VM. 5. Create template from the VM snapshot. 6. Run Guests from the sealed template with floppy attached which includes the answer files ( attached ) Still, I think that it would be much easier if you will come over and I'll show you how to it.

I will do ASAP, but we need those details in BZ anyway. My memory is short. Not even enough to remember command line you are using.

Bug should be reproduced without e1000 nic. This nic model is not supported and I suspect it causes the hang.
e1000 is not supported for windows guests.
