This suggestion is interesting.  The problem seems to be related to
the networking of the vm :
- the qemu vm started (no freeze)  when i removed all the network
interfaces ( 6 tap devices )
- when I try to create a bridge  _inside_ the container ,  the system
froze  . This happened without even trying to start the qemu ...

I'll keep investigating ...


In principle :  is it possible to create network bridges inside lxc
containers  , which are not seen by other containers ?  What about tap
devices?
(  I'll need that each container has its own set of 36 tap devices and
6 bridges - isolated from other containers )


Many thanks,
