Has to be kvm_intel.enable_apicv=0 (if the module is built in). Hmm, yeah, I should have just added "options kvm-intel enable_apicv=n" (without quotes) to /etc/modprobe.d/dist.conf. I just rebooted the host with "kvm_intel.enable_apicv=0" on Kernel command line: $ dmesg | grep apicv [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.20.0-0.rc0.git5.1.fc23.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora--server_dell--per910--02-root ro console=ttyS1,115200n81 rd.lvm.lv=fedora-server_dell-per910-02/swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora-server_dell-per910-02/root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 kvm_intel.enable_apicv=0 [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.20.0-0.rc0.git5.1.fc23.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/fedora--server_dell--per910--02-root ro console=ttyS1,115200n81 rd.lvm.lv=fedora-server_dell-per910-02/swap rd.lvm.lv=fedora-server_dell-per910-02/root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 kvm_intel.enable_apicv=0 $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_apicv N Then, booted an L2 guest over L1's serial console, while observing host's `dmesg -w`, I can see the same traceback: . . .
