Hello Troy, or anyone else affected, Accepted seabios into lucid-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seabios/0.5.1-0ubuntu2.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

I isolated fix to upstream patch http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=kevin/seabios.git;a=blobdiff;f=src/acpi.c;h=244536a276ae360f016e58b2eefaee83654abd75;hp=f613b034120d3595f9e9c4104acffbeae8dbd228;hb=3012af189e0f89bd33df1c0711a46f098053e9a7;hpb=92a5742b5f9f217ba6315fa13d075ba98ebc3fd6 If someone wants to test it to verify the fix, I've built a PPA package with the bug fix at https://launchpad.net/~dev- nigelj/+archive/bugtest/+packages, and find attached a SRU ready debdiff that includes the upstream patch, plus adds quilt/dpkg-source V3 (quilt) requirements to match Maverick. ** Patch added: seabios-0.5.1-0ubuntu2.1 SRU-Ready debdiff https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seabios/+bug/589063/+attachment/1522634/+files/589063-seabios.debdiff -- Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 589063] Re: Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs
I was going to try and get hold of Dustin via IRC, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure how this package fits into the Server SRU picture, and I'm not really in a position to call how safe an ACPI change like this on it's own is (although, this was the first of only a few that I can tell between 0.5.1 0.6.0 that upstream performed, so I'd hazard a guess that it is safe. I really thing it deserves some testing/oversight from separate eyes before it even goes into -proposed etc. In addition I don't have a box w/ more than 4 cores, I was reproducing the issue by over-committing CPU resources, so I think it really needs to be tested on more server-ish type hardware. -- Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 589063] Re: Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs
I have this exact same problem. I read of something very similar on this forum that it was a bug in the KVM BIOS and that a fix was coming, but I haven't seen a fix yet. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/46671 It occurred to me that perhaps it is a Windows 2008 Standard limitation since it will only run on 4 sockets: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/r2-compare-specs.aspx Does anyone know if the KVM CPUs show up in Windows at separate sockets instead of cores? -- Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 589063] Re: Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs
Anyone else able to reproduce this bug? I just checked and made sure I had the latest BIOS version for the motherboard, and I do. I'm not sure how I can help debug this -- I presume its a KVM issue, but am I wrong? Is it the system passing along bad ACPI info directly to the VM? I would just blame Windows, but there wasn't any problems under Hardy, so even if it's a Windows bug it's a regression for Ubuntu. -- Windows Server 2008 won't boot with more than 4 vCPUs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589063 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
