[Qemu-devel] Running KVM guest on X86

[Bhushan Bharat-R65777]

Hi Avi/All,

I am facing issue to boot KVM guest on x86 (I used to work on PowerPC platform 
and do not have enough knowledge of x86). I am working on making VFIO working 
on PowerPC Booke, So I have cloned Alex Williamsons git repository, compiled 
kernel for x86 on fedora with virtualization configuration (selected all kernel 
config options for same). Run below command to boot Guest (I have not provided 
vfio device yet): 

"qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -nographic -kernel 
arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage -initrd /boot/initramfs-3.5.0-rc4+.img -serial 
tcp::4444,server,telnet"

After the I can see qemu command line (able to run various commands like "info 
registers" etc), while guest does not boot (not even the first print comes).

Can anyone help in what I am missing or doing wrong?

Thanks
