It appears there are two issues here, one is fixed by 09de0f469c3c2a277c7874f6c60992c8b94719a9 and is 32bit-only, and another bisect leads to this commit: commit 59539c913383fdd3350681301b44f02fa7ee2757 Author: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 27 12:22:28 2011 +0200 qemu-kvm: Fix in-kernel PIC reset Lacking sync of the user space state to the kernel after system reset left the PIC behind in an undefined state. This broke IRQ delivery in some scenarios, e.g. when resetting while in the BIOS. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxx> Reverting this single commit on top of 0.15.0 fixes the guest issues described in this thread. This commit is qemu-kvm-specific (and indeed, the issue only affects qemu-kvm). Note also that as per above, -no-kvm-irqchip fixes the guest issue too. Anything wrong with this patch?
