I have no stability issues with kvm-69 on 64-bit Debian Lenny with kernel 2.6.24, using the kvm-amd module from the kernel package, when using the rtl8139 NIC. I can lock up any of my VMs when using the e1000 NIC and doing massive data transfers (rsync, scp, wget), in Debian (Etch/Lenny), Windows XP (SP2/SP3), or FreeBSD (6.3/7.0) guests. And also when using the virtio NIC or block drivers in Debian Lenny guests. Haven't tracked down what causes the problem, or how to reliably cause it to happen (sometimes right away, sometimes it's fine for a week), which is why I haven't posted any bug reports on it as yet. For now, all my VMs are using emulated NICs and block devices. -- Freddie Cash [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
