Package: qemu-kvm
Version: 0.11.0+dfsg-1~bpo50+1
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm running into a severe problem, where I'm unsure about the origin.
Please feel free to re-assign as appropriate.
I have various virtual machines, running various operating systems, and
three of them running Etch, Lenny, and Sid. It currently looks like the
Etch and Lenny VMs come up nicely, but the one with Sid hangs with this
error:
Clocksource tsc unstable (telta = large negative number)
The actual number varies, but the boot process hangs at this point for
at least 10 minutes (I've lost patience after that). The Lenny VM has
2.6.26 while the Sid VM has 2.6.30, 2.6.31, and 2.6.32 kernels (several
versions of these, actually).
This problem occurred "recently", but it now occurs with kvm (0.85bpo)
instead of qemu-kvm, too.
I'm starting my VMs with this command line (sample):
kvm -localtime -no-acpi -m 512 \
-net nic,model=rtl8139,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56,vlan=0 \
-net tap,vlan=0 /path/to/image/file/sid1.img &
which worked nicely for more than a year.
What gives?
Kind regards,
--Toni++
