I have a hard time getting a full backtrace. I recompiled qemu with --enable-debug. Running QEMU with -s -S and then using GDB with debug using: attach remote localhost:1234 works but when QEMU has crashed the command "bt full" always gives back: (gdb) bt full No stack. I then ran QEMU directly from GDB using: run -nographic -smp 1 -m 128 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0 -netdev tap,id=tap_1,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=net_1_1,vhost=on -device virtio-net-pci,bootindex=1,id=nic_1,netdev=tap_1,mac=02:16:3F:00:00:FA -netdev tap,id=tap_2,script=no,downscript=no,ifname=net_1_2 -device e1000,bootindex=2,id=nic_2,netdev=tap_2,mac=02:16:3F:00:00:FB I have to press a key continuously to get QEMU "running" (otherwise it halts). Right before QEMU crashes I get this error in gdb: Program received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1. spin_lock (lock=0x5a4f072640e15f00) at /home/bram/git/qemu/include/exec/spinlock.h:42 42 { (gdb) Continuing. qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x0000000074f0a5f9 EAX=00000000 EBX=0001939c ECX=00009cf3 EDX=00001c79 ESI=f81ac248 EDI=0009bd70 EBP=0009bd20 ESP=0009bd14 EIP=6d016c49 EFL=00000083 [--S---C] CPL=0 II=0 A20=1 SMM=0 HLT=0 ES =0010 07ef39b0 ffffffff 00cf9300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] CS =0008 07ef39b0 ffffffff 00cf9f00 DPL=0 CS32 [CRA] SS =0010 07ef39b0 ffffffff 00cf9300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] DS =0010 07ef39b0 ffffffff 00cf9300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] FS =0010 07ef39b0 ffffffff 00cf9300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] GS =0010 07ef39b0 ffffffff 00cf9300 DPL=0 DS [-WA] LDT=0000 00000000 0000ffff 00008200 DPL=0 LDT TR =0000 00000000 0000ffff 00008b00 DPL=0 TSS32-busy GDT= 0009cf40 00000037 IDT= 07f8df10 00006deb CR0=00000011 CR2=00000000 CR3=00000000 CR4=00000000 DR0=0000000000000000 DR1=0000000000000000 DR2=0000000000000000 DR3=0000000000000000 DR6=00000000ffff0ff0 DR7=0000000000000400 CCS=000193bc CCD=ffffffe0 CCO=SUBL EFER=0000000000000000 FCW=037f FSW=0000 [ST=0] FTW=00 MXCSR=00001f80 FPR0=0000000000000000 0000 FPR1=0000000000000000 0000 FPR2=0000000000000000 0000 FPR3=0000000000000000 0000 FPR4=0000000000000000 0000 FPR5=0000000000000000 0000 FPR6=0000000000000000 0000 FPR7=0000000000000000 0000 XMM00=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM01=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM02=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM03=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM04=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM05=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM06=00000000000000000000000000000000 XMM07=00000000000000000000000000000000 Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x00007ffff2797bb9 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56 56 ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: No such file or directory.
