It would freeze up a lot, without anything obvious (to me at least) in
the serial debugging output. After a freeze I would hard reset the VM
and then it would boot to the desktop and freeze again. There would be
the blue desktop and the mouse pointer, but the mouse could not be
moved. Switching to a single processor would allow the VM to boot
after reset.
I have a serial output log which should have all these sessions if
that would help.
I also had a case where I had taken two screenshots, then after a few
minutes it froze, and when I rebooted the screenshots were gone. I
guess the disk syncing still needs some work. I don't remember if this
was with a single or dual processor.
I'll try to do more testing and narrow things down. It was all quite
frustrating when trying to get screenshots, hehehe.
