Yes it does! # modprobe kvm_intel /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_apicv:Y # /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -name bsdtest -m 512 -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=2 -drive file=./20140613_FreeBSD_9.2-RELEASE_ufs.qcow2,if=none,id=drive0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -net none [problem occurs] # rmmod kvm_intel # modprobe kvm_intel enable_apicv=N /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_apicv:N # /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine accel=kvm -name bsdtest -m 512 -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=2 -drive file=./20140613_FreeBSD_9.2-RELEASE_ufs.qcow2,if=none,id=drive0,format=qcow2 -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,drive=drive0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -net none [problem does not occur] Thank you. This both narrows the problem considerably and provides an acceptable workaround. It would still be nice to see it fixed, of course. Keep me CC'ed as I'm not on the KVM list.
