Cannot boot 2.6.35 SMP guest in 2.6.35 host

Cannot boot 2.6.35 SMP guest in 2.6.35 host

[Richard Chan]

I am having a problem with a Fedora 14 x86_64 host booting SMP 2.6.35.x guests.
The boot proceeds halfway but does not reach a shell or desktop.
Oddly the console echoes characters.




I am using a AMD SVM system and found this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/226981/
Has this been resolved?
Fedora 14 x86_64 Host:
Guests:
0. Fedora 14 Install DVD - boots halfway and gets stuck
1. Ubuntu 10.04 (2.6.32.x) - boots SMP to desktop
2. Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35.x) -boots UP to shell (server version); cannot
get it to boot to desktop UP or SMP
3. Windows XP guest ok

2.6.36.8 kernel which were released a few days ago
contains 2 simple patches that addresses this issue.
The same patches are needed for 2.6.32 kernel too,
but they weren't applied to 2.6.32.25.  I can't
say anything about fedora kernels.  This is all
about host kernel, not guest one.
