** Description changed: Binary package hint: qemu-kvm + + ====================================================== + SRU justification: + + Type of bug: 'D' (Bugs which do not fit under above categories, but (1) + have an obviously safe patch and (2) affect an application rather than + critical infrastructure packages (like X.org or the kernel). ) + + Impact: users cannot start windows with 4 or more vCPUs + Fix: The bug is fixed in maverick because it was fixed upstream. + Patch: The patch which fixed the bug upstream is not in lucid, and is + separated out here in comment #10 + To Reproduce: 'kvm -hda windows.img -smp 6' + Regression potential: Users affected by the bug have been using the fix from + Nigel's ppa with no ill effects. If there are regressions, they should be + only in seabios/qemu-kvm users. + + ====================================================== Windows Server 2008 is loading fine in KVM on my computer when I allocate 4 vCPUs to it (on an 8 core host). When I allocate 5 or more, it blue-screens at start with an error about the ACPI capabilities with a suggestion to update the machine bios. I don't see reports of this error anywhere else, but its 100% reproducible on my system :( ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: qemu-kvm 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-server 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-server x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Jun 3 00:56:59 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100427) KvmCmdLine: - UID PID PPID C SZ RSS PSR STIME TTY TIME CMD - root 1836 1 72 3755651 14662328 0 00:49 ?
