The problem appeared with the upgrade from kvm 72+dfsg-5+squeeze1 to kvm-qemu 0.12.3.
The problematic guest VM (NT4) runs perfectly on kvm 72+dfsg-5+squeeze1 with this command line:
kvm -m 1024 -smp 1 -name francke4 -k de-de -boot c -monitor tcp:127.0.0.1:2001,server,nowait -pidfile /var/run/kvm/francke4.pid -daemonize -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:a8:04:03 -net tap -drive media=disk,boot=on,file=/home/kvm/francke4/francke4.img -cdrom /home/kvm/francke4/winnt4.iso -drive media=disk,if=floppy,index=0,file=/home/kvm/francke4/rtl8139-nt4.img -k de
As soon as kvm-qemu was introduced and updated to 0.12.3., each and every attempt to start the VM has failed. I'm testing on a different host computer with different paths, but comparable hardware (8 GB RAM, Intel-CPU).
Base command-line:kvm -m 1024 -hda /backup/qemu/francke4/francke4.img -cdrom /backup/qemu/francke4/winnt4.iso -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:11:22:33:44:66 -net user,vlan=0 -localtime -name francke4 -monitor stdio
results in: STOP 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0x8001449C, 0x00000000, 0x8011A95B) 8011a95b has base at 80100000 - ntoskrnl.exe I have tried to start the installed OS with these modifications: -cpu pentium => same BSOD -M pc-0.10 ; omit -cpu => very similar BSOD, this time with hal.dll -no-hpet => same BSOD I have then tried to re-install the OS from an image of the NT4 CD:-boot order=dc ; omit -no-hpet => BSOD STOP 0x0000003E (0x00000080, 0, 0, 0) very early in the boot process
-cpu pentium => it gets a bit further, but then kvm exits with this error message:
kvm_run: Exec format error kvm_run returned -8 -cpu pentium2 => same as above (kvm exits) omit -M => same as above (kvm exits) -cpu pentium3 => same as above (kvm exits) -cpu 486 => same as above (kvm exits) omit -cpu => stop 0x0000003e, as further above -smp 1 => stop 0x0000003e, as further above -M pc-0.10 -smp 1 => stop 0x0000003e, as further above -M pc-0.10 -cpu pentium3 -smp 1 => kvm exits, as aboveIf you need further information, I'm more than happy to provide it, but I need to know how to create it.
