Hi, Jes I just did a simple try with disabling pal_halt_light emulation, and guests boot well! So this is an issue caused by guest's halt handling. I remembered a guy of x86 side modified the halt logic(common code in kvm_main.c) days ago. So this should be possible rootcause which cause the issue. :) Thanks Xiantao -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
