Subject: [kvm-devel] KVM migration problem on Ubuntu
Hello people,
I have a Ubuntu gutsy minimal VM made as a testing environment for our system
software. In the mean time, I upgraded to Hardy, largely driven by the hope
that it will improve certain issues I had.
Well, but it seems, now the virtual machine no longer finds a network device
anymore. I think I saw that Ubuntu recently updated the linux-virtual kernel
in Hardy to include some rtl chip support. My suspect is that kvm changed the
network device it emulates?
Well, now I it seems I am stuck with an inaccessible VM. I tried to convert
with qemu-img to "raw", and then loop back mount as it says in the FAQ, but
it claims not an ext3 there. I would love to chroot into the machine to
update it, but I have no clue if that's possible.
Will I really need to find a Gutsy machine to transfer my VM to, in order to
update it? Or is there something that I am missing.
Yours,
Kay Hayen

Hi Kay
Just to be clear, are you trying to upgrade you host or your guest (VM) ?
Please specify your Host CPU/OS and your guest OS.
What is the command line you are using to start your VM ?
What are the errors ?
You are correct about the default network adapter emulated, it is now rtl8139,
and not ne2000.
If your guest is configured to use ne2000 network adapter, try adding to your
command line "-net nic,model=ne2000" (replacing "-net nic").
Hope that helps,
Uri.
