Hi, I am having trouble determining if my VM is up or not. Using virsh leads me to believe that the guest OS is not being loaded: virsh domblkstat guestvm rd_req 0 rd_bytes 0 wr_req 0 wr_bytes 0 flush_operations 0 rd_total_times 0 wr_total_times 0 flush_total_times 0 The VM state is running when outputting list –all. I think the guest OS is just not booted properly. Trying to bring up a console with virsh console guestvm prints: Connected to domain guestvm Escape character is ^] But then I cannot type anything to the screen or see any more output. In my /var/log/libvirt/qemu/domain**/guestvm.log I see no errors. Only the qemu start up command, and a note about redirecting output to console /dev/pts/0. The VM is a custom built image that has a file system mounted on /dev/vg/guestvm. We have a custom kernel at /var/lib/qemu/bzImage. Running a startup command directly with qemu-system-x86_64 allows me to boot the machine properly and bring
up a console using netcat. The guest does not use grub. I am not sure if something special is needed in my domain configuration to boot the guest inside the VM. Here is my config: <domain type='qemu'> <name>guestvm</name> <uuid>1878670e-ee57-4059-8d60-243a1559c2d3</uuid> <memory>219200</memory> <currentMemory>219200</currentMemory> <vcpu>2</vcpu> <os> <type arch='i686' machine='pc'>hvm</type> <kernel>/var/lib/qemu/bzImage<kernel/> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator> <disk type='block' device='disk'> <source dev='/dev/vg/guestvm'/> <target dev='sda'/> <readonly/> </disk> <interface type='network'> <source network='default'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> </devices> <features> <acpi/> </features> </domain> Any ideas what could be happening?
