Description poma 2015-11-16 16:51:34 UTC

The machine auto reboots very early,
the last message observed on the display before the actual auto reboot:
[    ...     ] agpgart: Detected NVIDIA nForce2 chipset

In the virtual machine, boot stops at the
[    0.000000] random: nonblocking pool is initialized

and there remains - no auto reboot as on baremetal.


Tested with:
kernel-core-4.4.0-0.rc0.git2.1.fc24.i686
kernel-core-4.4.0-0.rc0.git4.2.fc24.i686
kernel-core-4.4.0-0.rc0.git5.1.fc24.i686
kernel-core-4.4.0-0.rc0.git9.1.fc24.i686

HW:
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit
Vendor ID:             AuthenticAMD

Comment 1 poma 2015-11-21 10:30:57 UTC

In the absence of kernel debugging over a null-modem cable.

CPU is not AMD-V capable, therefore no Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support,
i.e. no host CPU passthrough to produce Kernel panic with the kernel 4.4
- qemu-system-i386: CPU model 'host' requires KVM
- virsh(libvirt)
  error: unsupported configuration: CPU mode 'host-passthrough' is only supported with kvm

However it is possible to do it with the VirtualBox:
