This error happens alot with people with kvms, including myself.  There has
been whispers that the psm flags could be adjusted which may make it work,
but I guess that is for the high priest voodoo magician eyes only.  Read up
on the man page for psm, there are flag options which may be able to deal
with this.  For the life of me, I can't seem to get these numbers to the
0x????? format.  Someone on here tried to explain it to me, but I guess my
memories of math in school are finally eluding me.....
Has anyone come across this error, recompiled their kernel with new psm
flags, and have it work then on out.  The truth......
How do you turn "bit 15" into 0x????
