Public bug reported:
This is the mirror set I want to use as vm storage.
$ ls /dev/md0*
/dev/md0 /dev/md0p1
However, when I try to add it as a storage pool using virt-manager, I receive
this error message.
Error creating pool: Could not start storage pool: cannot open volume
'/dev/md01': No
It turns out this is a known-problem on VIA Nano processors.

It doesn't sound like they are interested in the issue upstream right
now. So, unless someone here is intrigued enough to look into it with
me, I will just take the hit and
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kvm
Works (vnc session shows installer and no errors flowing into kern.log):
$ kvm -cdrom ubuntu-10.04-rc-server-amd64.iso -vnc :0
Fails with black vnc session and errors in kern.log:
$ kvm -uuid `uuid` -cdrom ubuntu-10.04-rc-server-amd64.iso -vnc :0
As a workaround, I have replaced the /usr/bin/kvm soft-link with the following
ruby code and made it executable. I do not know what adverse side-effects it
will have, but it works for now.
#!/usr/bin/ruby1.9
args = ARGV.dup
uuid_index = args.index('-uuid')
if (uuid_index)
OK, my workaround got me as far as the boot screen for the iso, but as
soon as a choose an action it locks up and starts spewing the above
errors into kern.log again.
So, it isn't the uuid option specifically, but that does trigger it
sooner.
** Summary changed:
- kvm hangs with uuid option
