Hi,
i get an early kernel panic with some kernels:
The physical host runs 2.6.32-5-amd64 (debian stable/testing), and uses
qemu-kvm/0.12.5+dfsg-4 with libvirt 0.8.3-4.
The node is based on debian testing.
The host has two cores, the guest uses one.
The following tested kernel versions panic:
- 2.6.30 (linux-image-2.6.30-2-amd64/2.6.30-8squeeze1)
- 2.6.32 (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64/2.6.32-27)
- 2.6.36 (linux-image-2.6.36-trunk-amd64/2.6.36-1~experimental.1)
The debian stable kernel does *not* panic:
- 2.6.26 (linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64/2.6.26-25)
Example log for 2.6.32-5-amd64 (experimental has similar backtrace); the
panic is caused by a div-by-zero in pvclock_tsc_khz:
