The combination of 'vexpress-a9' and kernel_irqchip=on don't make any sense -- the former implies "not using KVM" because KVM needs an A15 guest CPU, whereas the latter implies "using KVM". In any case kernel_irqchip=on is the default when using KVM. You can just delete the kernel_irqchip option. You might want to consider -M vexpress-a15, if you want a setup that will let you use KVM (will probably need to reconfig your kernel appropriately; may need to discard "earlyprintk" if you compiled the kernel with the dodgy "guess earlyprintk serial port address based on exact revision-and-patchlevel of CPU" option.) thanks -- PMM
