I am running 2.6.21 with no PARAVIRT and kqmeu works just fine.

Might be that my old pentium-III clunker has no relevance for paravirtualization. Probably only applies to newer intel chips and then one would use kvm instead of kqemu. K7? I do not know.



Interesting.
I ran first kqemu with a modified Debian 2.6.21-1-k7. The EXACT changes I made were:
1. Turned off PARAVIRT
2. Applied patch 2.6.21-ck2
3. Applied Debian LOGO patch + turned on logos
4. Turned on kernel timing.

That got me the hard stop on executing qemu

Then I ran with the unmodified Debian 2.6.21-1-k7 and the problem went away.

I *presumed* that it was PARAVIRT, but maybe not, I never did a full regression of the 4 changes: too much work because each compile takes 1:20 hr.
