Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Albert Weichselbraun (albert2611) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: cannot create guests with >3584 mb memory with >=kvm-81 Initial Comment: Creating guest with more >3584 mb of memory leads to the following error message with >= kvm-81: qemu: loading initrd (0x4c852c bytes) at 0x000000007fb37000 create_userspace_phys_mem: Invalid argument kvm_cpu_register_physical_memory: failed The following startup script works with <= kvm-80, but fails with higher version (last version tested: kvm-84): /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -drive file=/dev/mapper/g3-forge,if=virtio,boot=on \ -drive file=/dev/mapper/g3-tmp,if=virtio \ -net nic,vlan=0,model=virtio,macaddr=00:56:3E:39:55:66 \ -net tap,vlan=0,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup \ -m 3585 \ -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 \ -initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27 \ -append "root=/dev/vda ro" \ -vnc localhost:0 additional information: cpu model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5355 kvm version: 81+ host kernel arch: x86_64 guest: Debian Linux (amd64), 2.6.27.17 (guest and host) qemu command: see above The problem disappears if the -no-kvm switch is used. The -no-kvm-irqchip or -no-kvm-pit switch have no influence on this behavior.
