Public bug reported:

Happening sInce some time after beta1 (I stopped running KVM for a while
after the beta1 tests were done). Running kvm (via testdrive) against
the ISOs.

Almost always my laptop will hard-freeze. The screen is still painted
under X, but no keys work. I cannot shift to a vTerm, and cannot use the
magic keys to release from X. SSHing from another system fails (no
route/response to/from host). Already established SSH sessions will not
respond.

All in all, it really sounds like a back kernel panic. The only option
is to cycle power, wait for fsck to finish, and start again.

On the few times I do not get a hard-freeze, a running KVM will suddenly
display on the terminal header "QEMU stopped". After that, ending this
KVM run and starting a new one will have KVM unable to recognise the
guest vdisk (just-created/formatted). Rebooting returns KVM to work --
until the hard-freeze.

This has happened today about 20 times. I have been unable to find
anything in the logs pointing to an error, so far. Will now boot the -16
and -18 kernels to see if it is reproducible there; will also try a
vanilla kernel.
