Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
More information is needed to investigate this. Especially: * Which guest OSes (and their versions) are running when this error happens? * What happens to the guests when this error is generated? Does the qemu-kvm process terminate? Does it keep running, but the guest crashes? * Some specific operation is required to reproduce the crash? the RIP value shown on the error is very small. Does it happen while booting or rebooting the virtual machine? Can you provide: * /proc/cpuinfo information from the host * libvirt XML configuration used to launch the guest (or qemu-kvm command-line) Sorry for taking so long to reply.
