Hello:

I am running KVM 83-105.el5_4.13 installed with CentOS 5.4

According to this page:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS guests have some issues with virtio.

When I tried to install an Ubuntu 8.04 guest with the
accelerate option to virt-install, it crashes during
the install.  I assume this is the issue with virtio.
If I install the gues without the accelerate option,
it works, but is noticeably slow.

Is it possible to install the Ubuntu guest and then
add the virtio drivers to it after the install?
Will that be stable?

Assuming the failure was due to virtio, yes. Just use ide/e1000 instead.
Getting the crash logs would be helpful.


Thanks,
	Neil
