When trying KVM
I first had the following errors
[root@hostname ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -hda /kvm/vm/vdisk.img
-cdrom /kvm/iso/w2k8.iso -boot d -m 1024
open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory
Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support
Could not initialize SDL - exiting
I solved these:
First I set Viirtualization switch in SETUP of my Dell server 2950 to
enable (it sits under CPU ...)
This solved the /dev/kvm error.
The second one (Could not initialize SDL - exiting) had something to do
with X11.
I first started it on the DRAC card, I got the SDL error
Then on a putty session with DISPLAY to my Refection emulator on my PC
with xhost +, it did not work.
[root@hostname ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -hda /kvm/vm/vdisk.img -cdrom
/kvm/iso/w2k8.iso -boot d -m 512
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
"145.43.85.106:0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Then I started it on a VNC session and gave the exact same command as
before, and there was the popup window with the install screen of W2K8.
So my solution was:
Set Virtualisation to enable in the SETUP of your server
And run the qemu-kvm command from within a VNC session.
