Hi,

I have AMD servers running CentOS 6.10 as KVM host and on it guests running CentOS 7.5.

Since the latest kernel update on CentOS 6.10, kernel-2.6.32-754.2.1.el6.x86_64, I can't boot the CentOS 7.5 guests with kernel-3.10.0-862.6.3.el7.x86_64 anymore.

Reverting CentOS 6.10 host to kernel-2.6.32-754.el6.x86_64 fixes the problem.

Screendump of the panic is attached, not very helpful I guess.

I didn't know attachments are stripped by the list.

Here is the bugreport:

My feeling is that the recent Intel fixes/workarounds have broken it here for AMD systems :(

I had to set my CPU type to opteron_g3 instead of opteron_g5 for some machines on an AMD server.
