Virtual machine stops during installation with error - "Fail to handle apic access vmexit! Offset is 0x30"
Last modified: 2015-06-21 20:07:32 EDT
Description of problem: I'm attempting to create a Windows 7 virtual machine. The system is booting from a physical DVD for installation. However, during the boot, before installation begins, the VM hangs. I've recreated the VM several times and have experienced the same problem. In /var/log/messages, the following error message shows up each time the VM stops responding: Fail to handle apic access vmexit! Offset is 0x30 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@mcpierce-laptop ~]# rpm -q qemu-kvm qemu-kvm-0.12.3-8.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new VM, selecting "Windows" and "Windows 7" as the OS. Leave all else as default. 2. Start the VM, booting from a DVD install media. Actual results: The VM becomes unresponsive after the Windows 7 logo is displayed. Expected results: The VM to continue responding normally, allowing for proper installation. Additional info:

Is this still happening with qemu-kvm-0.13.0?
I have not been able to reproduce this issue, or seen it with the 0.13.0 release. Based on the lack of response I am guessing it is no longer an issue for you too? I am going to close as fixed in 0.13.0, please feel free to reopen if this is still happening for you.
