Current KVM userspace has a bogus line in the scsi code relating to the DBC register which looks like is what is tripping up the Bad Status, or could be anyhow. Try out with this patch applied to your qemu dir: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2008-12/msg00043.html You can also try older KVM releases, kvm 76 at least doesn't have that line present. That might be easier than applying the patch. You can also enable debugging in qemu/hw/lsi53c895a.c and in qemu/hw/scsi-disk.c Sending that output here would be helpful if we're still tracking it. If you can recreate with the patch applied or on an older KVM that doesn't have that line in there, I'll try to reproduce. Are there free/downloadable copies of Bae or Oracle that I can use to recreate? -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx [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
