Category: amd Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mihail Panev (mikepanev) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: kvm-84 crash with -m 475M and above Initial Comment: Custom compile of kvm-84 against Debian Lenny 2.6.26-bigmem 32-bit PAE kernel. Machine is an AMD Phenom 9550 @ 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM. Starting kvm with -m 2047 (as I always did) crashed it with an abort. I experimented with different parameters to -m, and using a "binary search" approach came to the conclusion that values up to and including 475M work fine, from 476M upwards glibc aborts with a corrupted linked list error. In particular, omitting -m altogether also works fine, since it defaults to 128M IIRC.
