Random lockups when running in qemu about baremetal HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you reproduce this with the latest source code?

from baremetal.

Yes, I tried it with a fresh git clone.

Go ahead and close this bug if you are unable to reproduce it, and I'll chalk it up to not wearing my tinfoil hat or something :-).

First, try taking the tinfoil hat off and putting it back on again.

Secondly, do you have a system monitor that you can check to see what's causing the hang up? That might indicate if it's a disk program or a CPU program.

On the host, I can run 'top', which shows that the "qemu-system-x86" process is consuming around 100% of the CPU once the hangup condition shows itself:

PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND

If you do some Google searching, you will find some scattered references over the years to a problem with QEMU where it locks up and the CPU used by the qemu-x-y process spikes to around 100%. I'm not sure if this is a factor in this particular case, but it's all I could find in the way of a case for blaming the problem on QEMU instead of the BM guest code....

Closing this as it is quite old and was not able to be duplicated.
