For b), please ensure CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER is enabled in the host kernel configuration. Very good guess indeed! 2.6.27 with KVM enabled (so CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER=y) and kvm-kmod-2.6.33-rc6 works OK. 2.6.27 with KVM disabled (so CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER is also disabled) and kvm-kmod-2.6.33-rc6 shows the Bad page state errors. -- Pierre Riteau -- PhD student, Myriads team, IRISA, Rennes, France http://perso.univ-rennes1.fr/pierre.riteau/ -- 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
