If the guest is spinning the cpu like that, my guess is something is wrong with the qemu invocation. The libvirt generated command line and the one you are using manually have quite a few differences in them. I would run the libvirt generated command manually, verify that it fails, and start working your way back towards the original command line option by option to see if you can determine the culprit. Start first with the kernel arguments, then maybe mem + smp values, etc. etc. Thanks, Cole _______________________________________________ et-mgmt-tools mailing list et-mgmt-tools@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/et-mgmt-tools
