Hi Vadim, I've been trying to use -cpu qemu64,hv_relaxed as a workaround for a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT BSOD on Windows 2008 R2 guests when a vcpu's execution is delayed for an extended period. When I do this however I get the following the BSOD:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559206(v=vs.85).aspx I've also tried -cpu qemu64,hv_spinlocks=4 and -cpu qemu64,hv_vapic as a sanity check and this results in the same error being thrown. Host is RHEL6.1 using latest qemu.git, guests are win2k8 server r2 (same behavior for both SP0 and SP1). Here's the full command-line: qemu-upstream -L ../qemu-build/pc-bios -cpu qemu64,hv_relaxed --enable-kvm \ -M pc-1.1 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 \ -name ichigo-dom45 -nodefconfig -nodefaults -rtc base=utc,driftfix=slew \ -drive file=/scratch/mdroth/win2k8r2sp1.raw,if=none,id=drive0,format=raw,cache=writethrough,snapshot=on \ -device virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,drive=drive0,id=disk0,bootindex=1 \ -netdev tap,id=hostnet0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup \ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=00:FF:FE:00:00:2d,bus=pci.0 \ -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0 \ -usb -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:45 -vga cirrus Unfortunately the BSOD is too early to get a kernel dump, but here are the error params in case that's useful: 0xFC0000096, 0xF800027F6200, 0x0, 0x0 Let me know if you need any other details. Thanks!
