Hi, I just got customer feedback that Ubuntu 12.04.3 freezes right after the installer is started. On the system in question I use rather old qemu-kvm-1.2.0 and kvm-kmod 3.5.4. The problem disappears if I drop the -cpu host and use -cpu kvm64. It also works with Ubuntu 12.04.2. The main difference is that Ubuntu 12.04.2 uses Linux 3.5 and Ubuntu 12.04.3 uses Linux 3.8.
Is anyone aware of a patch that got in recently or is this a new issue? I meanwhile try if this is reproducible with newer qemu and/or kvm-kvmods. Thanks, Peter
