Apport was done with the failing VM running, sort of. You can see it in the KvmCmdLine, added to the bug description by apport. The VM oscillates though, it starts through BIOS, and fails when GRUB starts. So it does not really "run". No dump to be seen in dmesg, but the VM log file (from /var/log/libvirt/qemu/) shows:
KVM internal error. Suberror: 1 emulation failure for each iteration through GRUB in the guest. See attached segment of the log file generated while apport was used. Not that the same VM runs fine without change when the host was booted into the old kernel 2.6.38-12-server from natty. None of my 64 bit VMs run with the stock oneiric kernels. Basic guest set-up is SuSE Linux on most of these. I am not at liberty to provide the current images (they are huge anyway) but if really needed I can start with a scratch guest installation (checked already that they fail too). ** Attachment added: "VM log file generated while capturing with apport" https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/882997/+attachment/2605260/+files/gasse.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882997 Title: 64-bit linux guests fail to start on oneiric running 3.0 kernel Status in QEMU: New Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Host: Ubuntu 11.10 kernel vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-generic or vmlinuz-3.0.0-12-server on AMD Athlon(tm) II P360 Dual-Core Guests: SLES 10 or 11, all 64 bit 32 bit windows guest starts fine.
