Disable kvm_clock¶
There’s currently a bug in KVM to where migrations lock up the guest if it is using the kvm_clock. To work around this issue, you need to tell the kernel to use a different clock at boot time. You can also change this at runtime but this will ensure its a permanent change.
Debian¶
On debian, open up /boot/grub/menu.lst and edit the following line while the guest is running:
kargs root=/dev/vda2 ro clocksource=tsc
Now update the grub config by running update-grub
