[Bug 1312133] [NEW] Cannot launch VMs with KVM since Icehouse upgrade

 

Public bug reported:

Since I upgraded my deployment from Havana to Icehouse, I can no longer
launch VMs when the hypervisor is KVM. However, with QEMU it works
perfectly. Back in Havana I've always used KVM.

The machines and operating systems are unchanged since Havana, and the
OS is Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS.

I can see the qemu-system-x86_64 process taking up 100% CPU. I can't
find any relevant logs to further understand what's happening.

I am using Neutron for networking, which is also working properly.

Here is the Compute node's nova.conf:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/76662/

Compute node's nova-compute.conf: http://paste.openstack.org/show/76663/

Controller node's nova.conf: http://paste.openstack.org/show/76664/

Compute's libvirt instance file: /etc/libvirt/qemu/instance-*.xml:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/76674/

And the commands that are run using and not not using KVM:
http://paste.openstack.org/show/76927/

I notice that the QEMU machine type is now pc-i440fx-trusty, even though
I'm still using precise. Anyway, without KVM and the same machine type
it works.
