Is it crashing with default configuration or the tuned one?
It was crashing with the most basic XML config file. It included no
<cpu> section at all.

The CPU number seen by the guest is set in the guest configuration file.
For example, I create my guests with "virt-install" and the generated XML
file has a "vcpu" parameter that I may tune.
Yes, I have a vcpu section, where I have limited it to four of the
eight, and it still crashes.

You have 8 CPU (#0 -> #7)
Oops, yes, meant 8. My point there was, however, that the "cpu cores"
field from /proc/cpuinfo indicates "1", not "4" as it does on the
host, even when I make more than 1 core available to the guest.
Thanks again,
