To see if this was a problem with the hardware kvm is presenting, I recompiled kvm 1:28-4ubuntu2 (from gutsy) on hardy and used the following:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 a1.img 4G $ kvm -M pc -m 128 -smp 1 -boot d -cdrom /srv/vms/isos/hardy/hardy-server-amd64.iso -usb -vnc 127.0.0.1:1 -hda /home/jamie/a1.img (and connected with 'xtightvncviewer localhost:1') I used lvm+encrypt and after 4 times did not get any hangs. kvm 1:28-4ubuntu2 uses qemu 0.9.0 while kvm in hardy uses 0.9.1. I will continue to do installs and will report back if I get a hang with this version of kvm. -- Installation stalls randomly until a key is pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217815 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
