In oi151a3, qemu-kvm is getting stuck running virtual machines (windows xp, 7 or linux) with the following output stream:

<pre>
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
emulation failure
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
emulation failure
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
emulation failure
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
emulation failure
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1
emulation failure
</pre>

It happens 98% of the time. Every now and then I can get a machine to boot, but not at all consistently.

I'm using a Xeon E3-1230, running OpenIndiana oi-151a3. This problem never occurred in oi-151a2.

I've changed around configuration options quite a bit on virtual machines (qemu startup parameters) and nothing has made a difference.

I notice also, that even booting a machine configured with only a Linux CD-ROM (like GParted), no hard disks and no network interface will still fail at boot most of the time before even getting to a grub menu. An example of a failed linux installation screenshot is attached.

Windows guests pass their initial boot menu, and then hang right quickly after that.
