Hi Jon,
It seems KVM's savevm/loadvm has been broken since the upgrade to version 0.9.0
of QEMU.
Please apply the attached patch and retry.
Currently, saved images (aka snapshots) of QEMU are not compatible with those
of KVM, and vice versa.
In other words if you savevm a VM started with '-no-kvm' (or a pure QEMU) you
must
start the new VM with '-no-kvm' to be able to successfully loadvm the saved
image.
Regards,
Uri

Subject: [kvm-devel] savevm causes 'Bus error'
Hi
I'd like to savevm/loadvm the state of my win2k virtual machine.
This works fine with qemu or with kvm using the -no-kvm switch. But
when kvm is enabled, issuing "savevm" causes a crash. All I get is the
message "Bus error" on the console.
If I try to restore a previously saved state with kvm, I get a different crash:
qemu: warning: error while loading state for instance 0x0 of device 'ram'
unhandled vm exit: 0x80000021

Any ideas? This is my first attempt at kvm so I may have missed
something. I'm using: a Core Duo cpu, kvm-16, and the Debian etch
2.6.18 kernel.
Thanks!
