Hello,
I have just noticed a problem with kvm in Debian Sid. Whenever I try to
launch
an instance of kvm, be it a disk virtual machine image I have already made or
a livecd, a window for kvm appears and just stays blank.
If I try to do the same thing with qemu everything works fine. If I try to do
the same thing with kvm -no-kvm, everything works fine.
I have the virtualization modules loaded (verified with lsmod). I am a member
of the kvm group and /dev/kvm has the right permissions. kvm gives me no
error messages, it just gives me a blank window.
I can interact with the virtual console within kvm while it is not working,
and if I load a vm snapshot everything starts working, but if I reboot the
virtual machine it just hangs at the blank kvm screen again. Due to this, I
suspected a problem with bochsbios, so I downgraded bochsbios, vgabios,
openhackware, and qemu to previous working versions. There was no change in
the behavior of kvm when I did this.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?
MM
the problem is fixed in version kvm 58+dfsg-2
