Important: KVM works perfectly on the virtualized host, able to start any other VM (Centos, Ubuntu..) only CRC VM freeze

comment:6 Changed 3 years ago by jagusztinl

Found the problem: Virtualbox freeze with VT-X nested virtualization, if SMP option (more than one cores) set in KVM/QEMU guest!

comment:7 Changed 3 years ago by jagusztinl

How to reproduce: /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nographic -cpu host -smp cores=4 -append "console=ttyS0" -m 4096M -accel kvm -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-147.el8.x86_64 -net nic,model=virtio -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22

FREEZE.

comment:8 Changed 3 years ago by pneumann

Also see ticket #19561. It appears to be a similar (or the same) issue.

comment:9 Changed 2 years ago by ramshankar

Thank you for the report and sincere apologies for the late reply. I'll try to post a test build with a possible fix soon.

I've edited some of the comments with nicer formatting to make reading verbose output easier to read. In the future, please consider enclosing output from commands/dmesg etc. within {{{ and }}}.

comment:10 Changed 2 years ago by ramshankar

I think the problem should now be fixed (with SMP nested guests).

Feel free to try out the test builds from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds (6.1.x 141725 or newer) and provide your feedback here.
