Thanks for reporting this bug. Given the lkml.org fix, I assume this is in fact a kernel bug, so assigning it as such.
This is presumably fix-released in utopic, but SRU-able to precise and trusty's backport kernels. I'm not clearn on how that process works, so leaving it like this. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: qemu (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1285708 Title: FreeBSD Guest crash on boot due to xsave instruction issue Status in QEMU: New Status in qemu-kvm: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When trying to boot a working FreeBSD 9.1/9.2 guest on a kvm/qemu host with the following command: kvm -m 256 -cdrom FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso -drive file=FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-amd64.qcow2,if=virtio -net nic,model=virtio -net user -nographic -vnc :10 -enable-kvm -balloon virtio -cpu core2duo,+xsave The FreeBSD Guest will kernel crash on boot with the following error: panic: CPU0 does not support X87 or SSE: 0 When launching the guest without the cpu flags, it works just fine.
