The 5 patches from 2.7.0 are performance boosts/fixes. Given that the 8335-GTB is a high performance system they are quite interesting to have. But they are not need in a sense of QEMU does not work without them. In fact, I've tested 2.5.0 with only the 2 patches from 2.6.1 and the sanity tests worked just fine. > 2.

You don't need the 5 patches from 2.7.0 to make QEMU work in 8335-GTB. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1656112 Title: Power S822LC (8335-GTB) fails KVM guest cert test with kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1656112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
