I did some googling and tried replacing utc-clock by local clock, I also tried adding clocksource=acpi_pm but none of those helped. versions: root@neo:/sys/bus/usb/devices# dpkg --list | grep -e qemu -e kvm | awk '{ print $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\t"$4; }' ii ipxe-qemu 1.0.0+git-20120202.f6840ba-3 all ii kvm 1:1.1.2+dfsg-6 amd64 ii qemu 1.1.2+dfsg-6a amd64 ii qemu-keymaps 1.1.2+dfsg-6a all ii qemu-kvm 1.1.2+dfsg-6 amd64 ii qemu-system 1.1.2+dfsg-6a amd64 ii qemu-user 1.1.2+dfsg-6a amd64 ii qemu-utils 1.1.2+dfsg-6a amd64 After a restart of the vm, the exact same problem happens after 10 seconds so it is 100% reproducible here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
