That should all be fine and looks exactly like my system. Can you tell me what happens if you, at the command line, do this: qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -m 1536 -nographic -vga none -mem-prealloc -mem-path /dev/hugepages /var/lib/libvirt/images/creosotis.qcow2 I'd like to rule out any strangeness from the many options passed to QEMU by libvirt. -Nathan
