Category: qemu Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jeff Nessen (jnessen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: After upgrade to kvm 60 release 2.fc8 problem with XP image Initial Comment: I am running the latest update from the Fedora 8 updates repository (as of this morning). I was able to boot my XP image using qemu-kvm -m 512 -hda kvm-xp.qcow2 The system booted the first time, but crashed at some point when it was running. Sorry I had another window up in front of it, so I could not see exactly what happened. When I returned to the qemu window, it was at the POST/BIOS screen and the last message said Disk Read Error Press ctrl+alt+delete to restart I tried to restart qemu-kvm but got the same error at the same place. The windows system was not doing anything in the background, just sleeping with a blank screen when the crash occurred. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Jes Sorensen (jessorensen) Date: 2010-06-18 16:07 Message: Hi, This was fixed in an update to Fedora 8 per the bugzilla listed below, so closing this bug. If you see this problem in a more recent version, please open a new bug against that in launchpad. Thanks, Jes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeff Nessen (jnessen) Date: 2008-02-26 22:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=16852 Originator: YES So does this mean it is a Fedora specific (package) problem or does it apply at the KVM level? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Berrange (danpb) Date: 2008-02-26 22:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=73606 Originator: NO FYI This problem is being tracked in the Fedora bugzilla for the KVM rpm https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434978 It was caused by the recent patch to fix the block device range checking security flaw. It will impact any grow-on-demand disk format such as QCow and result in serious data loss/corruption ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1902416&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
