RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Install WinXP 5 times on qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.118.el6.x86_64, can not reproduce
Comment 5 Suqin Huang 2010-11-19 02:25:05 UTC 
Not only 4450b host, can reproduce on other AMD hosts (5600 & 1216)and also reproduce on Intel host(i7)

Host kernel version? Can you reproduce without qxl?
Comment 7 Suqin Huang 2010-11-23 05:41:53 UTC 
can reproduce without qxl, spice

kernel: 2.6.32-83.el6.x86_64
qemu: qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.120.el6.x86_64
Comment 8 Gleb Natapov 2010-11-25 15:44:15 UTC 
At what point during installation it BSODs? Can you double check that qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.118.el6.x86_64 works for you? Just like in bug 655718
there is nothing between 118 and 120 that can cause anything like that.
Comment 9 Suqin Huang 2010-11-26 02:21:02 UTC 
Gleb:
the same as bug 655718, just the different appearance for different guests.
WinXP BSOD at the beginning of installation, Win2003 some times BSOD at the beginning, sometimes during the installation. 
Win2008 & Win7 are descripted at bug 655718

bug 655718 is intel specific. Can you confirm with 100% certainty that this bug happens on AMD too.
Comment 11 Suqin Huang 2010-11-26 08:08:49 UTC 
bug 655718 can reproduce on AMD host, but is not on all fours with the appearance on Intel, which I mention on 655718#c17

Lets don't mix different problem here. Forget about restart problem from 55718#c17. If anything it should be different BZ all together. Can you reproduce BSOD after installation copies files with _any_ windows on AMD? If yes then which windows, which host packages have problem and which host packages do not have problem.
Comment 13 Suqin Huang 2010-11-26 10:48:53 UTC 
I can reproduce BSOD at the begining of installation with WinXP 100% on AMD host.

bisected to b0b4309 [virt] KVM: Lazify fpu activation and deactivation.

BSOD happens on first reboot after installation copied files. Problem happens only without npt.
Comment 15 Avi Kivity 2010-11-30 13:29:12 UTC 
Looks like upstream bff7827479e is missing.

Please try the test kernel from https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/getfile?taskID=2922734&name=kernel-2.6.32-84.el6.test.x86_64.rpm

I can not boot up host with this kernel
Comment 17 Avi Kivity 2010-12-02 08:45:26 UTC 
You might need to install

https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/getfile?taskID=2922738&name=kernel-firmware-2.6.32-84.el6.test.noarch.rpm

at the same time (rpm -i kernel.rpm kernel-firmware.rpm).

How often you get a reproduce? Is it over all Intel processors or just this one.
It is not necessarily a regression, most chances it is a new bug.
