Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the correct venue for this question; feel
free to redirect.
When I start debian or ubuntu guests on a debian host running KVM
0.12.5, my guests kernel-panic immediately after bootup -- the OOM
killer kills every process on the system and then dies itself.
This problem only occurs if I enable the virtio-balloon driver --
without it, the guests run just fine. Also, this does not happen on
CentOS guests, which also run fine and which balloon up/down
happily.
The problem occurs just after the system gives me a getty -- if I
have the guest consoled, I'll see a login prompt but never get a
chance to use it.
I've tried compiling a vanilla kernel on an ubuntu guest, but the
problem persisted. I'm not sure where to go from here, so any tips
on debugging the problem are appreciated.
