Hello KVM devs, I've just downloaded and checked out KVM-17. I tried installing a Windows XP SP2 guest, using the following script (notice how I did NOT use the '-no-acpi' flag):
qemu -hda /var/vm/img/WinXP.img -cdrom /var/vm/iso/WinXP.iso -boot d -m 512 The first phase of installation went straight without any problem - and it was quite faster than previous releases! Then, when the guest had to reboot, KVM crashed with the following output: unhandled vm exit: 0x80000021 rax 0000000000000000 rbx 0000000000000000 rcx 0000000000000000 rdx 0000000000000600 rsi 0000000000000000 rdi 0000000000000000 rsp 0000000000000000 rbp 0000000000000000 r8 0000000000000000 r9 0000000000000000 r10 0000000000000000 r11 0000000000000000 r12 0000000000000000 r13 0000000000000000 r14 0000000000000000 r15 0000000000000000 rip 000000000000fff0 rflags 00023002 cs f000 (ffff0000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ds 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) es 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) ss 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) fs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gs 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 3 db 0 s 1 type 3 l 0 g 0 avl 0) tr 0000 (20850000/00002088 p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type b l 0 g 0 avl 0) ldt 0000 (00000000/0000ffff p 1 dpl 0 db 0 s 0 type 0 l 0 g 0 avl 0) gdt 0/ffff idt 0/ffff cr0 60000010 cr2 0 cr3 0 cr4 0 cr8 0 efer 0 Not a big problem though, I just manually restarted it and kept going on with the second phase of the installation. This is where I got the big problem: after installing the devices and asking for the cd-key (among other things), the guest totally *stalled* while configuring the network. It just says "Installing the network...", but the progress bar is frozen - and there's no output on the shell. I've also tried with the '-net nic,model=rtl8139' flag, but the result was the same. I'm unable to complete the installation. Is there a work-around for this? Thanks! - Alessandro ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
