Hello,

Software:

     We use a 32bit userland with a 64bit kernel.  In the qemu-kvm I
run the same distribution (using 64bit kernel with 32bit userland).
The userland is compiled with gcc-4.4.4, binutils-2.20.51.0.9,
glibc-2.11.2.  The kernels are compiled using a crosstool-ng toolchain
generated for x86_64, using crosstool-ng-1.7.0.  This crosstool
toolchain uses gcc-4.4.3, binutils-2.20, glibc-2.9.  Except for the
KVM issue, kernels work fine for me built with this toolchain.  Most
people seem to use 64bit userlands with 64bit kernels so perhaps
configurations like mine are not well tested yet.

Hardware:

     The CPU is core i7 950 3GHz part, stepping 5.  The machine has
12GB of RAM.   Motherboard is a Gigabyte X58A-UD3R, Award BIOS version
F3 from 02/06/2010.  6 SATA hard disks, one SATA DVD burner.  Machine
runs fine with 2.6.32.14 kernel.  With 2.6.33.x or 2.6.34 it runs fine
except for KVM.  Graphics card is a RV710 [Radeon HD 4350], but we
turn off KMS for radeon in the kenrel configuration since radeon with
KMS is unusuable (on all of of our machines, not just that one; intel
+ KMS works fine, but intel refuses to sell separate graphics cards).
We use the vesa driver in the xorg.conf instead.  Normally (and during
all the testing and git bisect) we do not run the X windows on that
machine, but qemu-kvm wants the libraries.  Client machine (Dell
Optiplex 330) runs the same setup, but with intel+KMS and gvncviewer
from gtk_vnc-0.3.10.  Client machine can do qemu without KVM just
fine, but of course it is so slow it isn't really practical to use.

Compilation details:

      The qemu-kvm version 0.12.4 is compiled with this:

./configure \
   --prefix=/usr \
   --enable-sdl \
   --audio-drv-list=alsa \
   --audio-card-list=ac97 \
   --enable-mixemu \
   --disable-xen \
   --enable-curses \
   --enable-bluez \
   --enable-kvm \
   --enable-nptl \
   --enable-user-pie \
   --target-list="x86_64-softmmu"

It requires this patch first to build on our systems:

The SDL-1.2.14 is built like this:

./configure \

     --infodir=/usr/info \
     --sysconfdir=/etc \

Access:

I can arrange for you to log in (and have root) on the actual machine.
  I can make an ISO with the actual distribution for your download, or
mail you a DVD with express mail if that is better for you.  The
machine is dedicated for doing KVM work, so I can run any tests you
want if you prefer I do them.

I wasn't able to reproduce the crash with a 32-on-64 setup, so please send the access details by private mail.
