Description MAJO 2011-08-10 16:40:38 UTC 
Hello,
I am having windows xp sp3 crashes when using the following:
 
the host is red hat 5 with 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5 64 bit
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5540  @ 2.53GH

the host is running kvm-86 for kernel modules and qemu-kvm-0.14.0 for userspace.
the guest is windows xp sp3.

the problem: sometimes when compiling using visual studio compiler, the guest will crash with system error , and when we check the mini dump for that system error it points to visual studio.


the host server will show the following error in dmesg:
printk: 1 messages suppressed.
kvm: 29097: cpu0 unhandled wrmsr: 0x198 data 0
kvm: 29097: cpu0 kvm_set_msr_common: MSR_IA32_MCG_STATUS 0x0, nop


Please advice!

Thanks,
Majo

kvm-86 is no longer supported.  Please try a recent kernel like Linux 3.0.  If you're using RHEL, use RHEL's KVM and report bugs through Red Hat bugzilla.
