The KVM wiki is editable. You could always start writing something up based on what you (and others) have been asked to provide, then ask the devs to look it over when you are done.

Ciao,
this mail just to say that it would be useful to have guide/howto that
explain some basic/standard action to help to debug failure on KVM.
The idea is the following:
most of the KVM users are just "users" (ok, maybe system administrator,
but) not kernel hacker or programmer.
like most of the OpenOffice.org users.
I contribute to OpenOffice.org not coding but testing every new version
with some basic/trivial test.

So instead saying "it doesn't work" it would be much more useful to say:
it doesn't work, AND as the howto-help-kvm say, the result of the
following actions are:
(for example)

0) kvm command line is: .......
1) with -no-kvm .........
2) kvm_stat says ...
3) gdb says...
4) the filesystem is {qcow2|row|lvm2|...}
5) host computer is ...
6) guest computer is ...
7) ...
8) .

and all the test that a end-user (usually a sysadmin, a skilled person
but not a kernel hacker) con do to reproduce/explain/mitigate the problem.

(by the way, is there an explanation of "Weekly KVM Testing Report" tests?)

just my thought
thank you.

ciao
