Toni, please understand that it looks like you're the only one on this planet to hit the issues you describe with kvm. #569990 and #568293 - both of them are, well, unreproduceable (I mean the last parts of them). Seriously, it was quite some time ago when I saw kvm behaving like this having issues in places where it just works since long time... I can't do anything with this unless I can reproduce the issues. Or maybe you provide access to your system to me. Or else I'll just mark the bugs as 'unreproduceable'. I'm not a developer of qemu or kvm, I don't know much internals, but I've some pretty good experience in this area (I think I've hit every kvm's bug ever existed, -- that's why I wished to step in to manage it in Debian), and I've seen many various problematic situations with it too -- #kvm @FREENODE had alot of them. What you describe just does not fit in my mind. That's the reason of my quite harsh tone when I replied to bugs mentioned above... It's sorta like discovering bugs in cat(1) (lockups, opening wrong files etc) which worked for many people before... Please don't get me wrong - I want this mess to be sorted out somehow, but - in short - I can't believe it unless I'll see it with my own eyes... ;) By the way, have you tried to update BIOS and upgrade the CPU you have? If memory serves me right, you've Athlon X2 64 4400+, and maybe that's the problematic one too... I'll try kvm on my old Acer Aspice 9300 (circa 2005 or so) with a dual-core Duron, but I know I've run KVM on it before and it worked just fine...
