I am experiencing regular crashes of my Vms - well, more like "freezes" than actual crashes.

I saw your blog post yesterday speaking about it. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with kvm under Ubuntu, so you might want to talk to Dustin, Ubuntu's maintainer of KVM. I saw some replies to your blog post suggesting you to use Dustin's PPA, have you tried to do that? I am copying Dustin on the message. As I said, I am not very knowledgeable with Ubuntu, but perhaps you should try a newer KVM build? kvm-84 is kinda... old :) A backport of a more current codebase to 8.04 could be a good idea. -- 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
