Summary0000298: Kernel panics on single CPU virtual machines
DescriptionHi,

While investigating a users bug report, I found that both 8.6 and 9.0 disk images (minimal installation disks) used to install the the system in a virtual machine (on Hyper-V and KVM) configured with a single CPU, would cause the kernel loaded by the bootloader to crash. With various deviations, it would crash during or right after initramfs gets unpacked.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a virtual machine with sufficient memory and storage space, but only 1 CPU
2. Mount the minimal installation ISO to be booted from and start up the machine
3. Select the installation option at the menu, optionally modifying the kernel command line to direct console output somewhere like ttyS0

The kernel should panic during the boot process.
Additional InformationI've attached the boot log as captured from the console, but for some reason, it doesn't give me the entire output (it looks like the peripheral probing stage has already passed).

Also, I didn't find an appropriate Category for this issue, so left it as -OTHER, but if there is one where this would be more fitting, do please move it.
TagsNo tags attached.
