Thank you for your response. I did try the backported Maverick qemu-kvm packages from the PPA you mentioned, and they did not help the problem at all. Actually, they seem to have made it much worse. Now, instead of SMP VMs failing about 50% of the time on my AMD-based machines, it fails 100% of the time. If I start the VMs with a console, the last messages shown on the console are:
BIOS EDD facility v0.16 2004-Jun-25, 0 devices found EDD information not available. Freeing initrd memory: 11176k freed After that, the guest freezes and doesn't ever come back. If I boot the VM guest without SMP support in KVM, then it boots and runs just fine, just like the version from Lucid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/714335 Title: KVM SMP Linux Guests Hang -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
