Bug#691665: [squeeze] Under CentOS 6.3 as a host OS Debian kernel hangs as a guest OS (KVM-QEMU)

2012-10-29 Thread Zoltan Frombach
Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your reply. I just tried to boot the original squeeze kernel (2.6.32) in recovery mode (kernel commandline argument single). Single mode makes no difference, it hangs with 6 vcpus at the same place. Here is a screenshot where it hangs:

Jonathan, I have good news. Debian Linux works perfectly with the 3.5.5 kernel! I've tried with 6 and 8 vcpus and 8GB of RAM assigned to the VM and it boot up very fast without incident every time I've tried. Please let me know how do you want me to proceed. Should we try to find out why

You can go ahead an forward it, sure. One more question: how can I install a kernel from the snapshot archive? Let's say, I wanna try this one: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/3.3-1~experimental.1/ http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/3.3-1%7Eexperimental.1/ How do I

Jonathan, I did some tests with the binary kernels I have found in the snapshot.debian.org package archive. Here are the results: I still experience the same problem with all 3.3.x kernels ( up to linux-image-3.3.0-trunk-amd64 amd64 3.3.4-1~experimental.1 ) The problem is first resolved in
