[Bug 80293] Re: kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version
No, it's still not fixed. Version 16 crashes when trying to start the ubuntu server feisty cd image (see bug #107172 and #103665). And version 18 of KVM can't use the kernel KVM modules due to not matching API versions as stated in this bug report. -- kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It appears that this problem has been solved. I use the following packages and KVM works fine: * linux-image-2.6.20-13-generic 2.6.20-13.21 * kvm 16-1ubuntu1 Bug can be closed. -- kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 80293] Re: kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version
FWIW, this is a likely bad idea. The kvm binary in this case might not be tied to any other libraries in its package, but that's no guarantee for future use. Older packages, if not in the repositories, can still often be found in the pool. Manually overwriting binaries controlled by the packaging system can cause unpredictable problems. If you do so, please back up the original version first. -- kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version https://launchpad.net/bugs/80293 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 80293] Re: kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version
A WORKAROUND: I attempted to downgrade the the previous version of KVM after this problem happened, but unfortunately the previous version is no longer in the repositories. If you need kvm as badly as I do, the workaround is to find someone with the old version still installed and use their /usr/bin/kvm binary. I simply overwrote the new version with the older version, and it seems to work with no obvious problems. I got the older version from a coworker who is more conservative in his upgrades, but if you trust some sketchy binary some dude uploaded onto a website, attached is the kvm_12-1ubuntu1 version of the /usr/bin/kvm binary. ** Attachment added: The kvm binary from kvm_12-1ubuntu1 http://librarian.launchpad.net/6719850/kvm -- kvm can't initialize due to old kvm kernel version https://launchpad.net/bugs/80293 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
