Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: David A. Madore (davidamadore) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Freedos hangs kvm-14 qemu on Intel CPU Initial Comment: Host system summary: Intel CPU (Pentium D 3.40GHz) running Linux 2.6.20.1 in 64-bit (x86_64) mode, using KVM module and QEMU from kvm-14 release. Otherwise generally using the Debian Etch distribution. Try to launch Freedos installation using "-hda harddrive.img -cdrom fdbasecd.iso -boot d -m 64 -localtime", where fdbasecd.iso is Freedos 1.0's base install CD from <URL: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/files/ > (and harddrive.img is an 80MB file full of zeros, but this is unimportant). Using bochsbios-2.3-2 and vgabios-0.6a-1 (both packaged by Debian). Symptom: virtual machine boots, but qemu stops soon after entering Freedos installer (as soon as "install to hard drive" is chosen, or something). "Stopped" means that the window title bar is updated to add "[stopped]" after QEMU title, and the virtual machine no longer runs (on host system, the QEMU process is in T state, using 0% CPU). The QEMU monitor is still accessible, but "cont" has no effect. "info registers" does not seem to show anything strange. The same QEMU running with -no-kvm works fine, so it's more likely a KVM or KVM-QEMU interface issue, not with QEMU. The same QEMU+KVM boots a Knoppix 5.0 CD without problem, so it's not like a complete failure to run anything. Using kvm-12 instead of kvm-14 gives a QEMU segfault at the same point (rather than just going in "stopped" mode). Reported on freenode's #irc channel on 2007-02-22 15:40+0100. Someone confirmed having the same problem on a 32-bit kernel+userland with FC6 (so it's not x86_64-specific, nor Debian-specific), but also with an Intel CPU. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1666308&group_id=180599 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
