Thanks, Ed. I'd like to see if latest kernel or qemu fixes it. Could
you try doing add-apt-repository ppa:kernel- ppa/ppa and then
(after apt-get update) install the package linux-image-generic-lts-
backport-natty (or linux- image-server-lts-backport-natty)? Then
see whether the images boot
Serge,
The problem must be related to the hardware. The machine I have the bug
on is a laptop w/ AMD Turion cpu, ATI/AMD chips (RS690, SB600). As you
said it works for you on an Intel laptop, I've managed to try the same VM
image on a HP laptop w/ Intel Core quad, Ubuntu 10.04 fully updated,
OK Serge, I've tried that kernel and it didn't help except
maybe with a dmesg line that looks new (I might have
just missed it).
1) With my long kvm invocation, I got the OSol kernel
panic output shown in the .png attachment to an
earlier message; but, also this line dmesg:
[ 210.924821] kvm:
Can you try with the latest version in Ubuntu 10.10 [...]
Sorry for the late response; I hadn't updated.
Also sorry to say it's still broken. I tried both the installed OpenSolaris VM
disk image and the installation CD and the result is the same: kernal panic
(message BAD TRAP: type=d (#gp
Well, no comment on this for some time. I'll say that I've updated kvm*
from the proposed repository, and that did not help.
Let there be no doubt about the the file housing OpenSolaris: I can
still boot an older Ubuntu 9.10 (with no upgrades applied since this
problem appeared) and use ***the
Can you please give us the exact package version strings [...]
Sorry about that.
