After a rebase to QEMU master, I am having trouble booting windows VMs. Git bisect indicates commit f5cc5a5c1686 ("i386: split cpu accelerators from cpu.c, using AccelCPUClass") to have introduced the issue. I spent some time looking at into it yesterday without much luck. Steps to reproduce: $ ./configure --enable-kvm --disable-xen --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --enable-debug $ make -j `nproc` $ ./build/x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -cpu host,hv_synic,hv_vpindex,hv_time,hv_runtime,hv_stimer,hv_crash \ -enable-kvm \ -name test,debug-threads=on \ -smp 1,threads=1,cores=1,sockets=1 \ -m 4G \ -net nic -net user \ -boot d,menu=on \ -usbdevice tablet \ -vnc :3 \ -machine q35,smm=on \ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,readonly=on,unit=0,file="../OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd" \ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file="../OVMF_VARS.secboot.fd" \ -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 \ -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on \ -cdrom "../Windows_Server_2016_14393.ISO" \ -drive file="../win_server_2016.qcow2",format=qcow2,if=none,id=rootfs_drive \ -device ahci,id=ahci \ -device ide-hd,drive=rootfs_drive,bus=ahci.0 If the issue is not obvious, I'd like some pointers on how to go about fixing this issue. ~ Sid.
