Package: kvm
Version: 84+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: virt-mana...@packages.debian.org
Hello,
I’m using kvm (from experimental) to run a Windows XP guest. My
architecture is amd64, and my Linux version 2.6.29-1-amd64 (though it
happened with every version I’ve used in this computer).
When I shut down the guest OS, the VNC client shows the “Now you can
safely turn off your computer” screen, but the virtual machine does not
automatically shut down itself. Instead, which is annoying, it will go
and spin CPU at 100% (well, one of the two cores of the machine, so it
shows as 50%).
I noticed I was running kvm with -no-acpi; I removed that, but it makes
no difference (well, see below).
It would be very, very nice that kvm would automatically shut down the
virtual machine when the guest OS signals power off with an ACPI event
or whatever.
In case it’s relevant, I never invoke kvm by hand, but use “virt-manager”
and the associated virtinst/libvirt stack. It was libvirt that was passing
-no-acpi, and I removed it by adding “<acpi/>” in the <features> section
of the virtual machine; the only difference I got was that the “Shut down”
action no longer worked, and I had to do “Force poweroff”.
Thanks in advance for any help!
