Hi,
Running Fedora 14 Beta x86_64, yum updated, on AMD Phenom X4 CPU.
All KVM SMP 2.6.35 guests are hanging during boot; the odd thing is
that the console echoes characters but the system does not come up.
E.g. I had a Ubuntu 10.04 guest which works ok; after upgrading to
2.6.35 (Ubuntu 10.10) couldn't boot to shell.
Fedora 14 beta install DVD also fails to boot to anaconda
The F14 Beta install DVD boots to
hpet0: at MMIO 0xfed0000, IRQs 2, 8, 0
hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 100.000000 MHz counter
Switching to clocksource kvm-clock
I've tried clocksource=tsc =hpet0 = acpi_pm
And the results are?
Tthe console can echo characters but nothing happens.
I sort of found this obscure thread on 2.6.35-rc1, pvclock, SMP

Yeah, if it stops hanging with alternative clocksources, it is most
definitely that.
