Comment # 31 on bug 1202138 from Michal Suchanek

What kind of hardware is powerqaworker-qam-1.qa.suse.de?

So far the problematic workers were POWER8 which use the old KVM code which
gets very little testing upstream.

Further, the problematic workers use 'openpower' firmware. That's some specific
firmware different from what most machines use, and the little testing that is
done by upstream on POWER8 likely happens on different firmware that also
supports PowerVM.

Finally the virtualization team does not provide any support for KVM on Power
at all. Any support we have is best-effort. I don't have any POWER8 hardware
capable of running KVM available.
