Hi Everyone,
I just downloaded and ran the new kvm-76 (upgrading from kvm-74) and I
have a few issues.
I am running Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) as my host and Windows XP as my guest.
I am using VT-d and the kernel modules loaded correctly.
Here is the command I use to start kvm:
kvm-bridge -hda windows2.img -boot c -m 1000 -serial /dev/ttyUSB0
-serial file:serial.out -smp 2 -usb -usbdevice "tablet" -full-screen
-cdrom /dev/cdrom
kvm-bridge is a script that configures my network and passes the other
options straight through to qemu-system-x86_64
1) what is the difference between running qemu-system-x86_64 and kvm
directly?
Because, when I run kvm directly, I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/malonem/kvm-76/kvm", line 20, in <module>
external_module = config.get('shell', 'want_module')
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 511, in get
raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'shell'
2) (this has been around for quite some time, I just haven't done
anything about it)
Even though I start up with -smp 2, windows only reads 1 cpu
3) When I run it using the --std-vga parameter, windows boots to just
before it gets to the "welcome" screen and hangs. The output shows a
multitude of "kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2" Is this something to do
with the kernel version I am using? I am using the standard Ubuntu
Hardy Kernel 2.6.24-19-generic. I read the release notes about the
kernel version with kvm-76 but didn't really understand them and
presumed that I am using the kernel modules supplied with kvm. (I
rmmod'd kvm-intel and kvm before I compiled and installed, then
modprobe'd the modules afterwards and everything seemed to go ok)
Any help or insight would be much appreciated,
Michael
