[Bug 714335] Re: KVM SMP Linux Guests Hang

[Brian Knoll]

Thank you for your response.  I did try the backported Maverick qemu-kvm
packages from the PPA you mentioned, and they did not help the problem
at all.  Actually, they seem to have made it much worse.  Now, instead
of SMP VMs failing about 50% of the time on my AMD-based machines, it
fails 100% of the time.  If I start the VMs with a console, the last
messages shown on the console are:

BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 0 devices found
EDD information not available.
Freeing initrd memory: 11176k freed

After that, the guest freezes and doesn't ever come back.

If I boot the VM guest without SMP support in KVM, then it boots and
runs just fine, just like the version from Lucid.
