Subject: qemu -enable-kvm freezes Package: qemu Version: 0.14.0+dfsg-2 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave
*** Please type your report below this line *** On an amd64 laptop (debian unstable) I've been using qemu with the following arguments (with windows XP guest): ARGS_GEN="-enable-kvm -drive file=$1,if=virtio -boot order=c -m 512 -rtc base=localtime" ARGS_NET="-net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no" ARGS_BIOS0="-smbios file=/home/vasqueja/.qemu_kvm/bios_bin/smbios_type_0.bin" ARGS_BIOS1="-smbios file=/home/vasqueja/.qemu_kvm/bios_bin/smbios_type_1.bin" ARGS_VGA="-vga std" ARGS_AUDIO="-soundhw ac97" ARGS_USB="-usb -usbdevice tablet" ARGS_CPU="-cpu athlon" ARGS_NIC="-net nic,model=virtio" qemu $ARGS_GEN $ARGS_NET $ARGS_BIOS0 $ARGS_BIOS1 $ARGS_VGA $ARGS_AUDIO $ARGS_USB $ARGS_CPU $ARGS_NIC Where $1 is provided as the qcow2 windows XP image. And it just with no action at all. As I was getting the following verbose print outs: qemu: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "vgabios-stdvga.bin" qemu: virtio_ioport_write: unexpected address 0x13 value 0x1 Initially I thought it was because I was using virtio driver for IO storage and NIC, then I changed that to use just plane "-hda $1" and NIC model rtl8139 which work, but are necessary, since without the virtio NIC the guest will eventually freeze will the CPU consuming 100%... However by not using virtio drivers, the phenomena still shows up. Then I tried just removing the STD vga driver, and instead using the vmware (already installed in the guest) driver, and combinations of virtio drivers and vga ones, and nothing seems to work. I'm filing this against qemu package then, since not sure about the origin, but it seems not possible to load the guest client... The laptop is HP compaq 8510w... Notice as I'm using nouveau xorg driver version 1:0.0.16+git20101210+8bb8231-2, I can only use linux-image 2.6.37-1 (unstable default) and can't try the 2.6.32, so I can't test the kvm modules on older kernel... -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages qemu depends on: ii qemu-system 0.14.0+dfsg-2 QEMU full system emulation binarie ii qemu-user 0.14.0+dfsg-2 QEMU user mode emulation binaries ii qemu-utils 0.14.0+dfsg-2 QEMU utilities qemu recommends no packages.
