I just updated all packages and can confirm the problem exists. It is not just
on boot up of host, it happens on every alternate boot of the Guest!
Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.11-desktop
kvm-1.0-139.4.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.9-196.4.x86_64
libspice-server1-0.10.0-31.1.x86_64
On client (but this doesn't really matter as the Guest crashes even when never
connected)
spice-client-0.10.0-31.1.i586
The problem from what I have been able to dig up is likely with the virtio
drivers provided for Windows guests (this problem happens only with Windows
guests - XP to Windows 7).
Virtio drivers are used in my configuration for the disk, serial-io and
network. Most likely it is the disk virtio that is causing the problem but can
also be the serial io driver.
Not sure when and how the Novell virtio drivers for Windows provided with the
distro are updated. They look outdated in my install.
Somewhere in the redhat bugzilla area, I read that many problems have been
fixed in the windows virtio drivers but it is not clear whether these fixes are
in the open source domain or proprietary to RedHat. Not sure who propagates
these Windows binaries to OpenSuse if they are opensource or who updates them
for opensuse and where any such updates are to be found (other than being
included in the original distro). If anyone knows of a place with updated
virtio drivers for Windows, I can try them out and see if they fix the problem.
