+Core2Duo and KVM may not boot Win8 properly on 3.x kernels
+
+When I start up QEMU w/ KVM 1.7.0 on a Core2Duo machine running a vanilla kernel
+3.4.67 or 3.10.12 to run a Windows 8.0 guest, the guest freezes at Windows 8 boot without any error.
+When I dump the CPU registers via "info registers", nothing changes, that means
+the system really stalled. Same happens with QEMU 2.0.0 and QEMU 2.1.0.
+
+But - when I run the very same guest using Kernel 2.6.32.12 and QEMU 1.7.0 or 2.0.0 on
+the host side it works on the Core2Duo. Also the system above but just with an
+i3 or i5 CPU it works fine.
+
+I already disabled networking and USB for the guest and changed the graphics
+card - no effect. I assume that some mean bits and bytes have to be set up
+properly to get the thing running.
+
+Seems to be related to a kvm/progressor incompatibility.
