I'm seeing the same rtc error but my systems are not hanging. I can still get to them and they seem to handle a good load from time to time, 4 running proc.

Charles,
Are you willing to try an experimental patch?
Perhaps you could try
the attached patch and post back if it happens to
solve your problem. There is most definitely a problem where qemu can
get hung up indefinitely after an "interrupt storm". I had not ever
submitted it because there is no clean way to do this via the opaque
information that is passed around. It seems wrong to have to make the
ioapic a global. If this does fix the problem perhaps someone will
decide to fix this up in a cleaner fashion via the opaque structures.
Jason.
