With KVM-28, attempting to install SLES 10 x86_64 from its DVD gives a blank black screen as soon as the installer switches from text mode, after the kernel has booted and the text-mode non-interactive part of yast has run: the window resizes from the text mode size, and is redrawn black, and then things stop, with kvm consuming almost no CPU.
If one tries the "-std-vga" option, then the same point is reached, only the console also fills with kvm: get_dirty_pages returned -2 The command line was /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /scratch/sda6/VM/8GB_2 -cdrom \ /dev/hda -m 1024 -k en-gb -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:01:02:01 -net tap \ -boot d -std-vga and the host is an Intel Core2 running SLES 10 x86_64. On the plus side, kvm successfully works with our PXE/autoyast SuSE 9.3 install system, even if SuSE 9.3 is now history...
