Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: krwi (krwi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Solaris 10 guest unstable Initial Comment: After several minutes of normal work Solaris guest hangs for few seconds. Sometimes system hangs completely and kvm proccess must be killed. Besides this host CPU utilization ist much higher than could be expected from guest uasage. Host: 2x Quad Core Opteron 8356 64GB RAM OS: Gentoo 64bit kernel: 2.6.26 KVM-79 (modules from package not from kernel) Guest: Solaris 10u5 started with command: kvm -M pc -m 4096 -smp 2 -name despina -monitor pty -boot c -drive file=/dev/MDvg_SystemVM/despina,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -drive file=/dev/MDvg_DataVM/despina30,if=ide,index=1 -net nic,macaddr=00:16:3e:5f:64:10,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net tap,fd=38,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet8 -serial pty -parallel none Usind -no-acpi switch doesn't help. On the same host I running several other guests systems including Win2003 Server sp2 32 and 64bit, WinXP sp2 32bit, Gentoo 64bit and Debian Lenny 32bit without problem like this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Technologov (technologov) Date: 2009-01-13 15:31 Message: I think your bug was fixed in KVM-81. Solaris-10 32-bit guest should now work. Can you try KVM-81 (or 82/83)? If you need Solaris 10 64-bit guest support there is an extra patch available. -Alexey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: krwi (krwi) Date: 2008-12-05 16:09 Message: Switching to 32bit doesn't help :( I performed some tests on Intel based machine (Core 2 Duo E8200) with the same host OS and KVM version and Solaris works much more stable. No lags, no CPU "overusage" even in 64bit mode. So it looks like problem is related to AMD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: krwi (krwi) Date: 2008-12-03 14:25 Message: Yes it's 64bit. KVM was installed from Gentoo portage with following patches: 01_all_qemu-configure.patch 02_all_qemu-kvm-cmdline.patch 03_all_qemu-kvm.patch 04_all_libkvm-no-kernel.patch 05_all_qemu-ifup_ifdown.patch 07_all_kernel-longmode.patch 08_all_qemu-kvm-doc.patch 09_all_qemu-no-blobs.patch I'll try with 32bit verision, thanks for suggestion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Technologov (technologov) Date: 2008-12-02 15:46 Message: >From my testing, Yes, 64-bit Solaris guest is problematic, and requires patching for KVM to work, but Solaris 32-bit guest should work fine. Can you tell us which Solaris you use ? (32 or 64-bit) -Alexey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2353811&group_id=180599 -- 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
