https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203845 Bug ID: 203845 Summary: Can't run qemu/kvm on 5.0.0 kernel (NULL pointer dereference) Product: Virtualization Version: unspecified Kernel Version: 5.0.0 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: kvm Assignee: virtualization_kvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: jpalecek@xxxxxx Regression: No Hello, I can't start a linux system (for autopkgtest testing) using kvm on an AMD system. The qemu process is just killed after ioctl(..., KVM_RUN).
