Problem:
------------
My packages are up-to-date as of 5:00pm PST on Jan 22/2009 (via apt-get dist-upgrade). When KVM tries to boot the supplied kernel, the guest kernel hangs on "[ 4.520000] ...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ...", while the KVM process takes up 100% of the CPU on the guest. I've let it spin for 30 minutes but no progress is made. Information that may be useful: KVM version 79 does not have this problem on the same host using the same guest kernel (uninstall v82, install v79, problem goes away), problem is the same on jaunty desktop with KVM v82 and kernel 2.6.28-4-generic, problem is the same when using kernel supplied by package linux-image-virtual.

Here is the way that I can reproduce the problem:

| kvm -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-4-server -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-4-server

Here is the output of the KVM process itself (note that I am on a machine without hardware virtualization support):

| open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
| Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support
| qemu: loading initrd (0x7e1474 bytes) at 0x000000000780e000

Finally, here is the output (console) of the guest:

Did you experience the same problem with the previous version of kvm?

In other words, is this a regression?

Okay, I couldn't reproduce that here, on the same jaunty packages,
kernels, and versions. But I do have virt hardware.

I'll try to disable that in my bios and then try. It's possible this
only shows up in qemu mode.

I can confirm this, now that I have disabled kvm. I'll look into it.
