there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which crashes the Linux guest: general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c011a8ae>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00000246 (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3) EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3 and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line! Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life harder' tool!! with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine. And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup, sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor any particular bootup code.
