My XP VM was working OK, and then started crashing shortly after it logged me in. There were no obvious changes at the time. I built the latest qemu-kvm, but the problem persists. I am running 32 bit XP on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz (8 cores total), Debian GNU/Linux mostly Lenny (amd64), but with some more recent stuff. In particular, the kernel is 2.6.30-8 and I pulled in the kernel-headers package to match before building kvm. However, libc6 and libc6-dev are at Lenny's 2.7-18 version. $ ./XP.sh ++ sudo vdeq bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=52:54:a0:12:01:00 -net vde,vlan=1,sock=/var/run/vde2/tap0.ctl -boot c -vga std -hda /dev/turtle/XP01 -soundhw es1370 -localtime -m 1G -smp 2 arg ,vlan=1,sock=/var/run/vde2/tap0.ctl TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Invalid argument TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad address oss: Could not initialize DAC oss: Failed to open `/dev/dsp' oss: Reason: Device or resource busy oss: Could not initialize DAC oss: Failed to open `/dev/dsp' oss: Reason: Device or resource busy audio: Failed to create voice `es1370.dac2' # and more sound-related complaints The VM starts; I see the initial XP screen with the 4 colors; I see the background I get when I log in (it logs me in directly without prompt); and then (pretty fast) I get a blue screen. The stop code is 0x8E, and the text says to check disk space and BIOS options. -no-kvm-irqchip and -no-kvm-pit make no difference. With -no-kvm I get stop code 0x24 and a suggestion to disable anti-virus, defragmentation, and backup software. This is the one obvious change between the Lenny kvm and the one I just built; with lenny kvm (kvm 72+dfsg-5~lenny3) running with -no-kvm simply seemed to hang forever (I think I waited at least 15 minutes). This disk turtle/XP01 is a read-write snapshot on turtle/XP00. The snapshot looks healthy, with about 50% allocated to the snapshot. The snapshot volume is 10G and the original is 50G. The VM starts fine if I point it to XP00 instead of XP01. Any ideas or suggestions? Ross Boylan P.S. What are the different files in my kvm/bin directory? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
