Two and a half new data points: - The problem host has a Xeon E3-1270V2 processor while the one which runs the CentOS 6 guests fine has an E3-1230. I'm not sufficiently up to date with Intel processor types to tell whether this would make a difference. - Another CentOS 6 VM with older kernel 2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.x86_64 does come up on the problem host. It does a panic blink (Caps Lock and Scroll Lock blinking in unison while the VM has the keyboard) but I get a working login prompt (I don't get any further because I don't have a logon for the machine) and I can shut it down normally by sending Ctrl-Alt-Del. - (the half point, no idea if it matters) The CentOS 6 VMs which die with "PANIC: early exception 0d" do *not* do a panic blink. So it would seem that something related to the problem was changed in the CentOS kernel between releases 2.6.32-220.7.1 and 2.6.32-279.5.2. -- Tilman Schmidt Phoenix Software GmbH Bonn, Germany
