Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Latest Ubuntu 10.04 amd64. I have a FreeBSD guest I had running quite slowly with the kvm-intel module loaded, so I shut down the guest, and passed the -no-kvm flag to kvm. Much to my surprise, I experienced an immediate segmentation fault: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -no-kvm -vnc :0 -hda fbsd_dev -m 4096 pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-rtl8139.bin" Segmentation fault (core dumped) In contrast: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -no-kvm -vnc :0 -hda fbsd_dev -m 4095 pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "pxe-rtl8139.bin" [runs happily forever] I'm presuming this is some mishandled behavior of qemu having a limit of memory being < 4096m when not using VT bits or somesuch, but it was quite disruptive, and it didn't occur to me to try varying the memory amount for most of a day.
