Sorry I didn't see your question earlier. I'm now running the release version of 10.04: Linux 2.6.32-21-server #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 09:17:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux This particular machine isn't very high powered, but it should be at least usable. It has a single quad-core L5320 Xeon (with vmx), 10Gb RAM, SATA soft raid-1, no other major processes (not even apache), load average < 0.1. FWIW the host OS reboots in under a minute.
Here's CPUinfo on one core: processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 15 model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5320 @ 1.86GHz stepping : 7 cpu MHz : 1866.966 cache size : 4096 KB physical id : 1 siblings : 4 core id : 0 cpu cores : 4 apicid : 4 initial apicid : 4 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 10 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca lahf_lm tpr_shadow bogomips : 3733.93 clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: I've attached a screenshot of the kind of thing it's doing. It takes about 20 minutes to even get as far as this screen though! It's completely unusable - after 50 mins it reached a login prompt, but typed input eitehr doesn't work or is too slow to tell. This is the command I gave to vmbuilder (which can't get much more vanilla!) vmbuilder kvm ubuntu \ --suite lucid \ --flavour virtual \ --arch amd64 \ --libvirt qemu:///system \ --hostname vm1 \ --user user \ --name user \ --pass default \ --ip 192.168.0.100 \ --dest /root/vm1 and kvm is run from its generated run.sh file with this: exec kvm -m 128 -smp 1 -drive file=tmpkJv9OP.qcow2 "$@" I don't know if this problem is because vmbuilder built a bad image, the config is bad, or because kvm isn't working right. ** Attachment added: "kvm failing to run" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/47820425/Screen%20shot%202010-05-04%20at%2022.07.24.png -- Virtual machine soft lockup - CPU gets stuck for XX seconds https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
