Hi all, From kvm-74, the building process of kvm-ia64 is the same as x86 side. It means kvm-ia64 is very easy to be used now. Still existing issues (2 have been fixed. 3 are in debuging): ==================== 1. [FIXED, not checked in] guest domain can not boot up network 2. [FIXED, not checked in] KVM guest can not do "reboot" and "poweroff" 3. FAIL to boot up Windows-2008server guest 4. IA64-KVM Guest will crash at restore (save-restore) 5. Can not boot up guest with 4G memory with 2.6.9 kernel (it boots well with 2.6.27 kernel) Summary reports: ==================== ENV is: kvm-ia64: kvm-74 platform: Tiger4 processor: Itanium 4 Processor logic Processors number: 8 (2 processors with Dual Core) pal version: 9.68 service os: RHEL5u2 IA64 SMP with 2 VCPUs vti guest os: RHEL5u2 & RHEL4u3 gfw: open guest firmware Cset#126 Results: [PASS] Source-building [PASS] Two_UP_VTI_Coexist (mem=256) [PASS] One_UP_VTI (mem=256) [PASS] SMPVTI_LTP (vcpus=2, LTP suite: "mm sched dio math quickhit") [PASS] Boot_RHEL4u3_VTI [PASS] Boot_RHEL5_VTI [PASS] SMPVTI_Network (mem=256,vcpu=2, pass with patch) [PASS] One_SMP_VTI (vcpus=2) [PASS] SMPVTI_Kernel_Build (vcpus=2) [PASS] UPVTI_Kernel_Build [PASS] SMPVTI_Windows 2003 (vcpu=2) [PASS] SMPWin_SMPVTI_Coexist [FAIL] Guest network [FAIL] windows2008 [FAIL] Save&Restore [FAIL] Guest "reboot" and "poweroff'' [FAIL] One_SMPVTI_4096M (vcpus=2, mem=4096M, kernel=2.6.9) Thanks, Zhang Jingke -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
