Hi, Vadim I start a vm(windows server 2008 64bit) with below qemu command, get stuck with black screen during boot stage, no error report by qemu and kvm hypervisor, but if I remove the item "hv_vapic", then start and run the VM successfully. /var/run/qemu-server/5195516385344.pid -daemonize -name win2008_iotest -smp sockets=1,cores=1 -cpu core2duo,hv_spinlocks=0xfffffff,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic -nodefaults -vga cirrus -no-hpet -k en-us -boot menu=on,splash-time=8000 -m 2048 -usb -drive if=none,id=drive-ide0,media=cdrom,aio=native,forecast=disable -device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0,id=ide0,bootindex=200 -drive file=/sf/data/3600605b006c126da1b0cde571ba48d0d_00e0ed2d202e/images/host-00e0ed2d202e/win2008_iotest.vm/vm-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio1,cache=writethrough,aio=native,forecast=disable -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio1,id=virtio1,bus=pci.0,addr=0xb -drive file=/sf/data/local/images/host-00e0ed2d202e/win2008_iotest.vm/vm-disk-1.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-virtio2,cache=writethrough,aio=native,forecast=disable -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=drive-virtio2,id=virtio2,bus=pci.0,addr=0xc,bootindex=101 -netdev type=tap,id=net0,ifname=519551638534400,script=/sf/etc/kvm/vtp-bridge,vhost=on,vhostforc e=on -device virtio-net-pci,mac=FE:FC:FE:58:E0:81,netdev=net0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x12,id=net0,bootindex=300 -rtc driftfix=slew,clock=rt,base=localtime -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s3=1 -global PIIX4_PM.disable_s4=1 -post win2008_iotest -enable-kvm -L /boot/pc-bios Seen similar problem before?
