Category: qemu Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: FdB (fadb) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: virtio_net not working Initial Comment: After many posts elsewhere - and no single reaction - I try this forum. I use SuSE 11.0 and 11.1 with the latest kernel (.28.2) and before in both host and the guest. I use the KVM83 package because using Qemu svn produces kvm related errors. After installing an image using '-net nic,model=e1000....' I changed the previous model to 'virtio'. After a restart, I do get a IP address assigned but also partial csum errors upon initialization. After I logged in, ifconfig shows fine data, but I am unable to get any IP traffic with anything but itself. Can anybody shed some light on it? Not being able to use virtio_net is a real show stopper for me. Thanks, frans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: FdB (fadb) Date: 2009-02-11 20:45 Message: It did not worked under my x86_64 (Athlon64 2x) system. However, using linux-2.6.29-rc1 (on the host) and later solved the problem. I do however now see almost no gain in throughput using virtio_net or the e1000 emulation. The difference is around 1 MB/s in the plus for the first. So, still not really usable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Technologov (technologov) Date: 2009-02-11 11:39 Message: openSUSE 11.0 guest works fine with VirtIO network. Using standard SUSE kernel from the box.
