Host freezes with hardware virtulization.

Hi.

I'm having this one of a kind problem with with my machine -- and it appears to be cross platform, i.e. on any guest OS (on Linux host), when I enable hardware virtulization, the host freezes completely within a few minutes of operation and I have to hard reset.

I've only enabled AMD-V, not nested paging since the feature is missing from my CPU, vme is there. The KVM modules are not loaded.

KVM might not be loaded but are you sure there is nothing else thats part of KVM that isn't loaded like a kernel hook? if this only happens when using vt-x then clearly someone is fighting over its control, either that or the bios has a bug.

I'm actually running a custom kernel, and have not build KVM modules.

It appears I'm the only one who has faced these problems.
