I have had two different Router machines do something similar on the
IPFire OS, and the core cause ended up being power related. One power
supply was intermittently dying with the whole system hanging, and the
only option was a hard reset. The second system also had issues with
the hard drive and also the power supply. These units were Mini ITX
boards, Super micro Sys-E200-9B with the Pentium N3710 Quad Core,
System-on-chip, 8GB Ram, 120 GB SSD, Quad NIC Cards, and they used
external 60W DC power adapters similar to a higher end laptop style.
I don't blame the manufacturer, I think it was an issue with the power
supplies going bad.

Hi Johnny -
Yipes, I hate problems like this!
The host computer is a SuperMicro C2SBC-Q mainboard. The processor is
an Intel Core2-Quad Q9400. Yes, it is x86_64 architecture. The
display adapter is an older nVidia GeForce 8400 GS, and I use the
nouveau driver for it. Selinux is disabled.
The guest machines are Fedora 37 and CentOS7.
So far I have found no log files with anything useful. The hang
happens so quick that nothing gets logged. Here is a section of
/var/log/messages. Notice the gap at 06:32 to 06:43. This is where I
started a virtual guest and the system hung. At reboot I chose a
different kernel.

==========================
Is there anyplace else I should look for log files? Is there a way to
get verbose logging?
How might I check for a kernel panic? The display never says anything
about a kernel panic - it just hangs.
Thanks!

The two latest kernels for CentOS7 are complete fails for running

Version 3.10.0-1160.76.1 works correctly. Both 3.10.0-1160.80.1 and
3.10.0-1160.81.1 will hang within seconds of launching any virtual
machine. It is a HARD hang. I have to pull the power cord from the
computer in order to regain control.
Since 81.1 came out within the last few days, I assumed it would
contain a fix for this problem. It does not.
Does anyone know when a kernel will be released that fixed this
problem?
This is not true for all KVM guests. This kernel is actually
installed and test booted before release on a cold iron, KVM VM,
Virtual Box VM, and ESXi VM.
It also passes our t_functional test suite:
All C7 updates run through all these tests for all new rpms.
So this problem has some other specific cause. Is this on a E5507
processor?
What OS is the KVM host running. I assume this is x86_64 arch?
