At this moment I'm updating to 4.6 stable being the host Linux 2.6.32 and qemu-kvm-0.12.1.1. With this version of qemu-kvm I no longer have the problem that I mentioned [1] with the e1000 network interface. This time I've disabled mpbios of this [2] way. With this change we could not use SMP in the OBSD guests? On the other hand, I'm having problems in the update of ports, but it is not the place to speak on this subject. If you are subscribed to the openbsd misc mailing list, I will follow the subject by that channel. Thanks for your reply.
