I am running virt-manager and kvm on a T61p laptop running Ubuntu 8.04. I am able to create and run Fedora10 kvm image fine from within the virt-manager (Attached 'working.xml' file shows the dumpxml output of this guest image). I am trying to run this same image with a custom 2.6.28 kernel. I tried adding following lines to the <os> section of the 'working.xml' file. 8a9,10 > <kernel>/home/suka/vm/kernels/vmlinuz-2.6.28</kernel> > <cmdline>"ro root=UUID=fa22e974-699a-4c9a-9e7f-62c138642239 debug"</cmdline> The guest seems to start up when I when run: $ sudo virsh create new.xml and I can see kvm running as follows: $ ps -f |grep kvm root 3040 6035 99 17:02 ? 00:08:21 /usr/bin/kvm -M pc -m 512 -smp 2 -monitor pty -kernel /home/linux/vm/kernels/vmlinuz-2.6.28 -append "ro root=UUID=fa22e974-699a-4c9a-9e7f-62c138642239 debug" -drive file=/home/linux/vm/fc10.img,if=ide,boot=on -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:0d:ca:1c,vlan=0 -net tap,fd=12,script=,vlan=0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 But when I connect to console: $ vncviewer 127.0.0.1:0 I just see "serial0 console" in the vncviewer and nothing happens. I believe the 'vmlinuz-2.6.28' kernel is fine, since I can boot it with following kvm command line $ /usr/bin/kvm \ -kernel /home/linux/vm/kernels/vmlinuz-2.6.28 -smp 8 -m 1024 \ -append "debug ro console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1" \ -hda /home/linux/vm/fc10.img -no-reboot -vnc :9 \ -redir tcp:2209::22 -serial telnet::2009,server But the same kernel in the virt-manager/libvirt just hangs. virt-manager shows that the 'guest' is using about 50% CPU and memory but nothing really seems to be happening. I checked ~/.virt-manager/*log, /var/log/messages and dmesg on the host (T61p). Only message I found, repeated several times was in dmesg: 'vcpu not ready for apic_round_robin' Are there other log files I should check or is there a way to have kvm print out more useful info on what is happening ? Thanks,
