hi, this strange bug always happened with me on centos-5 with virt-manager. our setup: - host: - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz - Intel S3000AHV - 8GB RAM - CentOS-5.2 - kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 x86_64 64bit - guest-1: - CentOS-5.2 - 4 vcpu - kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 i386 32bit - guest-2: - CentOS-5.2 - 4 vcpu - kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 x86_64 64bit - guest-3: - Mandrake-9 - 1 vcpu - kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk 32bit - guest-4: - Mandrake-10 - 1 vcpu - kernel-2.6.14.2-p4-smp 32bit - guest-5: - Windows XP Professional 32bit - 2 vcpu - guest-7: - Fedora-9 - 4 vcpu - kernel-2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 if i restart libvirt i can start as the first guest the guest-4/mandrake-10 but if i start any of the other guest i no longer able to start guest-4. now the most strange thing happened with guest-7 (fedora-9). i use these packages build myself: http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/ libvirt-0.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm libvirt-python-0.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm virt-manager-0.6.1-1.x86_64.rpm python-virtinst-0.400.1-1.noarch.rpm kvm-83-1.x86_64.rpm and what've got from virt-manager is not too useful for me: ------------------------------------ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 498, in run_domain vm.startup() File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 508, in startup self.vm.create() File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 287, in create if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: internal error unable to start guest: ------------------------------------ is there any way to find the reason? thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
