[Bug 714335] Re: KVM SMP Linux Guests Hang

[Brian Knoll]

Okay, I have done some more research and testing and I now think the
following upstream KVM bug is the problem:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2968899&group_id=180599&atid=893831

Upstream KVM bug 2968899 describes a bug which causes the SMP guest to
lock up when setting the time.  I disabled NTP on my guests to test
this, and my guests boot fine without NTP.  Obviously, that's not an
acceptable "workaround" because having managed time is a requirement for
any well-managed machine, especially a server.

But it does look to me like the bug is an upstream bug.  However, it
doesn't look like it's getting any attention from anyone, unfortunately.
