Category: None Group: v1.0 (example) >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Morten Lund (m-lund) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Kubuntu 7.04 fails to boot as guest- hangs after kernel boot Initial Comment: I'm having a very strange problem booting Kubuntu as the Guest OS on a Kubuntu 7.04 host os. I have loaded the modules and I start the KVM with this commandline: sudo /tmp/kvm-28/kvm -m 256 --no-reload-module --no-tap --image=disk-images/test2.img Of course with the correct modules loaded, directly from /tmp/kvm-28/kernel The image contains a Kubuntu version, installed with qemu with no hw-acceleration, and it boots fine in qemu. All graphics during the boot sequence has been disabled from the menu.lst in Grub. My mileage varies: Mostly I get to the point in the hang screenshot. Although not hanging 100%, as I can type on the keyboard, and the characters gets displayed. When it hangs, it takes 97% to 100% of the CPU on the host system. And this is where it gets strange: I can sometimes avoid the hang if i type on the keyboard while the kernel boots (before the actual hang). Seems to be very random though. Info about my system: Machine: Dell Inspiron 9400 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz Kernel Version (host and guest) 2.6.20-16-generic (one supplied with Kubuntu) Kernel Arch: i386 32 bit (both guest and host) And no: It doesn't happen, when I use the --no-kvm option. I have tried it out on the version originally supplied with Kubuntu - but the sames goes for the newest version 28. Kind regards Morten Lund I will be happy to supply you with more info, if needed. Just tell me what you need. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jes Sorensen (jessorensen) Date: 2010-06-11 14:48 Message: Pulled down a copy and tested. Ubuntu 7.04 installs and boots fine under recent KVM/QEMU Closing Jes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Technologov (technologov) Date: 2007-07-25 16:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1839746 Originator: NO Excuse me, but can you tell again if it's kernel fails or the bootloader - explain a bit more... The problem is: Ubuntu 7 fails on my system on the graphical bootloader stage, before the kernel. The same problem goes for openSUSE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1740031&group_id=180599 -- 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
