Hi,

Does kvm guest kernel still work ? I'm playing with current mips-next
and starting a kvm guest kernel inside an emulated malta system also
running a mips-next kernel. The kvm guest kernel starts, but hangs
in calibrate_delay (at least that's what info registers in qemu monitor
suggests). Ayn ideas ?

The current KVM guest kernel is actually a Trap-and-emul guest kernel.
VZ based KVM uses the same binary with the host one, so does TCG.

TE KVM is current unmaintained. I'll try to get a malta and do some test.

hmm, so it looks broken, is unmaintained, how about removing it ?

Probably. I got remote access of a CoreLV malta but no luck to boot kernel as well.

+ Huacai as KVM/MIPS Maintainer.
+ Philippe as QEMU/MIPS Maintainer.
+ qemu-devel for wider audience.

If nobody intended to maintain it probably it's time to remove it.

Thomas.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
