Thanks. Reading the defect and the associated thread in https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1661386, I enabled performance counters in VMWare guest settings. Now the kvm assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' is gone. But the qemu/kvm hangs after printing "SeaBIOS (version 1.10.2-1)" I presume this too is a qemu/kvm issue for vmware platforms. Is there any existing issue...

I am using a debian 9 guest, hosted on a ESXi platform with nested virtualisation enabled. On this debian 9 guest when I run libguesfs-test-tool, it fails with an error: "qemu-system-x86_64: /build/qemu-DqynNa/qemu-2.8+dfsg/target-i386/kvm.c:1805: kvm_put_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed." Instead when I use a wrapper script and hook it with the env

Hi, I am having issues with libguestfs; I am unable to mount a disk either from cli or via python bindings. This was working previously, but in order to have access to python3.5 I am trying to upgrade from Debian 8/Jessie to Debian 9/Stretch. Unfortunately the libguestfs error is getting in the way. Output of libguestfs-test-tool is attached as per libguestfs.org help. My current environment:

See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1456407 This is basically a bug in VMware and the qemu bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1661386 has a couple of hints about what it can be changed in VMware to avoid this situation. -- Pino Toscano
