Could you try to verify if this also hits with a raw iscsi partition instead of qcow?

Unfortunately we already have the latest patch from fedora. As to your question how to run without libvirt to try the -no-kvm/-no-kvm-irqchip options. Try: /usr/bin/kvm -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name test \ -boot c -drive file=image.qcow,if=scsi,index=0,boot=on -serial pty -parallel none -usb -vnc 0.0.0.0:1 Cheers, -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
