Hi All, I am running on CentOS Released 6.1 final. Been using and running Linux KVM quite well for quite some time, something goes wrong after I perform yum upgrade. I created new VM yesterday without any problem, same exact installation procedure, installed FreeBSD 8.2. I tried to create a new VM today after yum upgrade, it's able to detect the hard disk, when I start commit FreeBSD 8.2 installation, it complains cannot write to disk as stated the error message below. block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) Below is the log I capture from the VM log file -- Log start -- 2011-12-12 00:23:39.485: starting up LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -S -M rhel6.1.0 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name database -uuid f3e9f320-7826-7e50-94bb-1833f7fd9dfb -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/database.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-reboot -drive file=/opt/cibai/database,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=raw,cache=none,aio=threads -device ide-drive,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-0,id=ide0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/opt/ISO-Download/FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw,aio=threads -device ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=22,id=hostnet0 -device e1000,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:77:a5:a6,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:2,password -vga cirrus -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 char device redirected to /dev/pts/6 Using CPU model "cpu64-rhel6" block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) block I/O error in device 'drive-ide0-0-0': Invalid argument (22) -- Log End -- Below is the software version currently running; gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.7.el6.noarch qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.8.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.8.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.8.7-18.el6_1.4.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.8.7-18.el6_1.4.x86_64 libvirt-0.8.7-18.el6_1.4.x86_64 Any of you having the problem as well?
