Re: [Qemu-ppc] [Qemu-devel] [Bug 1674925] Re: Qemu PPC64 kvm no display if --device virtio-gpu-pci is selected

Hi,

now i understand .  xics  have to be build in kernel and is needed by qemu 2.9 with kvm.
if is not present in the kernel have the issue that i  been reported about xics.
I make a test on ubuntu 16.10 and on 17.04. the two distro are ppc 32 and generic.
i had build the stable kernel 4.10.5 two times with the same config  the  only parameter that  i had change  was the xics one was yes and the other was no.

On the two ubuntu version when  i run kernel without xics i had  the issue reported. if i run the kernel with xics enabled qemu 2.9 is working and was gave no issue.
but ...
on Fedora server 25 ppc64 if xics is present in the kernel the system (fedora) not run and freeze after the kernel bootstrap.

Hope all is understandable

Thanks
Luigi
