unhandled vm exit on kvm36 with Etch 32 guest on AMD64

Hello,

I'm getting "unhandled vm exit:0xb8002" running a Debian Etch guest under kvm36 on AMD64.

The host is a 4-core dual-dual AMD, and I was able to create the Debian Etch (4.0) guest image just fine, using a standard install, from the standard Debian DVD disc1: debian-40r0-i386-DVD-1.iso

Distro is Ubuntu Gutsy, kernel is brand-new 2.6.22-11-server from the Gutsy repo. The KVM36 was installed via apt-pinning from the Debian (sid) repo (they're compatible - dependencies all met). The KVM36 is the only thing from the sid repo.

I originally upgraded to kvm36 because I was having this problem on the default Gutsy kvm28, and the Guest Status page for Etch says kvm29 works (albeit with Intel), but this is the same error I was getting with kvm28.

Here's the commandline and the subsequent regdump:

root@librehost-g64:/vm/143#  kvm -vnc :1 -k en-us -net 
nic,macaddr=de:ad:be:ef:01:43 -net tap -monitor 
telnet::23143,server,nowait,nodelay -cdrom 
/iso/debian-40r0-i386-DVD-1.iso -append vga=771 debian-40r0-i386.8G.qc2

In /etc/kvm/kvm-ifup, adding: tap0

This is a badly reported emulation failure.

Is there anything in dmesg like "emulation failed but !mmio_needed?"?

Using kvm-37, I was able to install a debian guest using debian-40r0-i386-DVD-1.iso, and run it, on both AMD and Intel machine. My hosts are both running Fedora 7 with linux kernel versions 2.6.21-1 and 2.6.23-rc3.

Does your guest boot when adding '-no-kvm' to the command line ?

Here's the dmesg snippet from the run:

[47823.616622] device tap0 entered promiscuous mode
[47823.616633] audit(1189441272.489:14): dev=tap0 prom=256 old_prom=0 
auid=4294967295
[47823.616638] br0: port 2(tap0) entering learning state
[47830.252510] pf_interception: emulate fail
[47830.308439] br0: port 2(tap0) entering disabled state
[47830.351370] device tap0 left promiscuous mode
[47830.351386] audit(1189441279.240:15): dev=tap0 prom=0 old_prom=256 
auid=4294967295
[47830.351390] br0: port 2(tap0) entering disabled state

So just the "pf_interception: emulate fail" is all.
