Hi, When trying to boot a Windows 7 install from a local virtual disks, qemu stops with the messages: KVM internal error. Suberror: 1 emulation failure I've started qemu with libvirt. This is the output from libvirt's logfile: 2014-01-07 18:22:10.988+0000: starting up LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin HOME=/ USER=root QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -name win7_master,process=qemu:win7_master -S -machine pc- i440fx-1.7,accel=kvm,usb=off -m 4096 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 0d640aa9-a88c-164b-398c-14186445d2a8 -no- user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/win7_master.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -no- shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device ahci,id=ahci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio- serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/virtual_disks/systemrescuecd- x86-3.8.1.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1,readonly=on,format=raw,cache=none - device ide-cd,bus=ide.0,unit=1,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 -drive file=/virtual_disks/win7_master.img,if=none,id=drive- sata0-0-0,format=qcow2,cache=none -device ide-hd,bus=ahci0.0,drive=drive- sata0-0-0,id=sata0-0-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0 -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:e1:63:d3,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 - chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 - chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio- serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 - device usb-tablet,id=input0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable- ticketing,seamless-migration=on -k de -device VGA,id=video0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0- codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon- pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 char device redirected to /dev/pts/3 (label charserial0) ((null):14946): SpiceWorker-Warning **: red_worker.c:11477:dev_destroy_primary_surface: double destroy of primary surface ((null):14946): SpiceWorker-Warning **: red_worker.c:9663:red_create_surface: condition `surface->context.canvas' reached main_channel_link: add main channel client main_channel_handle_parsed: net test: latency 0.137000 ms, bitrate 9799043062 bps (9345.095694 Mbps) red_dispatcher_set_cursor_peer: inputs_connect: inputs channel client create KVM internal error.
