yeah, I saw this part of the problem going away for me, and thought it could be fixed. I'm testing it with fedora, so maybe that's why. I still have to dig a little deeper, but I'm travelling for the Linux Kongress right now, and won't be hacking on this until late this week. Stay tuned.

Maybe it even become obvious. > kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2 > kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2 > kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2 > kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2 > kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2 > ...zillions of this line... > > still appears. > > kvm-75 shows none of these issues and appears to work just fine. > > HtH. > -- > 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 > -- Glauber Costa.
