Hmmm not really sure what do you mean by external VNC - I could grab this info once I'll finish some work today and kill all the apps running in the system - so most of the memory should be released - will go to single mode for this - is this what do you want ? > > What host kernel and kvm version are you using? Usually running quite up-to-date Linus git tree kernel - Both host/guest are running 2.6.25-rc6 kernels For compiling using gcc-4.3 kvm itself is fedora rawhide package: kvm-63-2.fc9.x86_64 (somehow I've troubles to compile the kvm-userspace git tree as libkvm mismatches my kernel version - which probably means I would have to use kvm linux kernel to use kvm-userspace ??) (actually why the gcc-3.x is preferred when this compiler is IMHO far more broken then 4.3 ?) I think I've already posted my configuration already several times if it's needed I'll repost again - I've many debugging features enabled for my kernels (yet having no idea how to use them to detect my lost memory :)) Zdenek ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
