Description of problem: After upgrading my host to Fedora 14 (using preupgrade) I've been unable to boot a guest OS of Fedora 14 using qemu-kvm when any value other than -smp 1 is specified. This only occurs when attempting to boot Fedora 14. I can successfully boot e.g. a Fedora 13 Live CD, or FreeBsd. I have 3 guest OS's (Fedora 14) which were successfully running under Fedora 13, now they will no longer boot after upgrade to Fedora 14. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): uname -a : Linux devvirthost 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:36:08 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux yum info qemu-kvm: Name : qemu-kvm Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 2 Version : 0.13.0 Release : 1.fc14 How reproducible: Error occurs every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch qemu-kvm with the following : qemu-kvm -M pc-0.13 -smp 2 -m 1024 -cdrom /home/user1/Downloads/Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso Actual results: New window with splash screen appears and boot countdown until boot. After countdown expires, window clears and changes to all white. Cpu consumption on a single core on the host goes to 100% and remains there until the window is closed. Additional info: CPU on Host is AMD Phenom II, 6 core
I think I have exactly same issue with SMP and KVM. I also run with AMD Opteron/Phenom CPU, apparently they are more prone to mess up :) Problem is solved with kernel 2.6.35.8-60.fc14.x86_64 for me. Regards Jens

Is that kernel coming down the main repositories soon? I'll try that out as soon as it's available and see how well that goes. Cheers, rd
After clean installation of F14 I can not boot virtual machines. It is worked good under F13, but can not boot under F14, ever command line is very simple: --- qemu-kvm -localtime -m 640 -name fedora14 -drive fedora14.img --- [sergeil@homedesk ~]$ rpm -qa | grep qemu qemu-common-0.13.0-1.fc14.i686 gpxe-roms-qemu-1.0.1-1.fc14.noarch qemu-system-x86-0.13.0-1.fc14.i686 qemu-kvm-0.13.0-1.fc14.i686 [sergeil@homedesk ~]$ uname -r 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.i686.PAE
For anybody, who has still problems, try to use this kernel: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=205708 (latest kernel from koji). Why this kernel is still not at least in updates-testing repository?

I had the same problem with the i686 version running on a Phenom 9500 Quad Core. I could not boot the DVD in my VMs until changing them to 1 proc. Updating to the i686 koji kernel linked in the message above seems to have solved the problem. Thanks!
