Package: kvm Version: 84+dfsg-2 Severity: important
Hi, on a lenny system with a backported kvm-84 and kernel 2.6.28 (from sid and experimental; rebuild for lenny with no changes other than the local version number), we can't boot into our guest anymore if we give it any more than 3584 MB Ram. With kvm-72 from lenny, the guest boots fine with it's 7G Ram. The failing kvm-commandline is: kvm -smp 8 -drive if=virtio,file=/dev/system/test_root,boot=on -m 3585 \ -nographic -name test -kernel /boot/kvm/test/vmlinuz-2.6.28-1-amd64 \ -initrd /boot/kvm/test/initrd.img-2.6.28-1-amd64 \ -append 'root=/dev/vda ro console=ttyS0,115200' \ -serial mon:unix:/etc/kvm/consoles/test.sock,server,nowait \ I get the following output: qemu: loading initrd (0x781b93 bytes) at 0x000000007f87e000 create_userspace_phys_mem: Invalid argument kvm_cpu_register_physical_memory: failed see also http://marc.info/?l=kvm&m=123789858622487&w=2 Thanks for any
