I failed to reproduce this on my system (but I could not try if with the exact same params). What's your host? What happens when you pass an absurdly large memory size? I get $ ./qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4000 -hda /images/fc6.img kvm_alloc_userspace_memory: Cannot allocate memoryCould not create KVM context Dan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
