hi
thanks for taking the time to reply

a) the error happens almost immediately; I mean: when I run qemu from an
xterm, it doesn't even popup its window: it just dumps the error
message to the terminal and stops
b) the guest is an old windows XP OS; but, as I say above, all goes as
if qemu doesn't even load the OS image (at least this is my
impression)
Meantime, I have tried to (quick&dirty) disable the error
catching/asserting in i386/kvm.c:
install:41> diff ./qemu-3.1.0-rc1/target/i386/kvm.c.MSR_HACK
./qemu-3.1.0-rc1/target/i386/kvm.c
2205c2205

2530c2530
< assert(ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs);

and that makes qemu start and work without apparent problems.
Of course, that is a crude and risky (I guess) workaround...
thanks again
ciao
