KVM and EL2 on XPS13  #50

Figured Id create this to discuss the current state and possibilities for moving it forward. With SLbounce and current kernels, EL2 booting seems to work just fine, even KVM seems to boot up happily and recognize EL2 on all cores.

However, upon starting a VM with hardware acceleration, the entire machine halts immediately. I haven't even been able to get so much as a crash dump. So I'm looking for steps to try and debug this and maybe get hardware virtualization working.

I'll have to find my notes on exactly what I've tried but so far the problem is it halts and reboots too quickly for anything to give me valuable info. I've stopped just shy of kernel debugging with a remote machine due to time but plan on picking that up soon.

So any tips? Suggestions? Methodology? Know of any existing discussions or people working on this specific topic? Maybe an IRC or similar?

Thanks
