Hi, We run some tests against latest kvm.git and kvm-userspace.git. For 32bit host, we applied Eddie's patch to fix " "kvm: Unknown symbol genapic" error, and Qing's patch to fix exit qualification issue.
In the testing, we found following issues have been fixed: 1. Blue screen issue of Vista guest. 2. 64bit SMP windows issue 3. The failure of building 32bit kvm as external modules 4. Cannot boot guests on 32bit host But we still find 3 new issues: 1. guest timer 2 times faster than network timer https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1791444&group_ id=180599&atid=893831 2. 64bit 4GB guest cannot start network https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1792984&group_ id=180599&atid=893831 3. high cpu usage of 32bit windows xp/2003 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1792999&group_ id=180599&atid=893831 Summary for current status: ##What's working: Can boot most ia32/ia32e SMP/UP Linux guests with either acpi enabled or acpi disabled. Can boot ia32/ia32e SMP/UP Windows XP, and Windows 2k3 guests with either acpi enabled or acpi disabled. Save/Restore works on both ia32 and IA32e Live migration works on ia32 and ia32e ia32 guest can be migrated from ia32 host to ia32e host Keybord, mouse, ide disk, vga, and nic work well. ##What's not working: Can NOT boot windows 2k Can NOT boot ia32e rhel4u3 with -no-acpi Can NOT boot 2.6.22 kernel if not disable nmi_watchdog guest timer 2 times faster than network timer Booting multiple guests likely fails 64bit 4GB guest cannot start network high cpu usage of 32bit windows xp/2003 Issue list ================================================ 1. guest timer 2 times faster than network timer https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1791444&group_ id=180599&atid=893831 2. 64bit 4GB guest cannot start network https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1792984&group_ id=180599&atid=893831 3. high cpu usage of 32bit windows xp/2003 https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1792999&group_ id=180599&atid=893831 4.
