Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
Hi,
I've just upgraded my Linux to Kubuntu 9.10 (i386).
I'm using KVM and virt-manager on it.
Unfortunately my VM boxes became corrupted after I install new software on
these or create some files.
Here is the VM definition:
$ virsh dumpxml ubuntu

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server Edition 9.10 but after a few reset
there is a problem with swap partition on the screen while booting:
>>>
One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot yet be mounted:
(ESC for recovery shell)
swap: waiting for UUID=903d9649-0587-45b1-a501-8c02d71f43fc
<<<
Then when trying to recreate swap on /dev/sda5 I get:
>>>
r...@ubuntu:~# fdisk -l

swapon: /dev/sda5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument
<<<<
Later I tried to install some software:
# apt-get install azureus
and during the package installation I saw strange characters on the screen and
everything stopped working.
After a reset system was dead - the grub stopped booting - it seems my entire
virtual disk became totally corrupted.
>>>
GRUB loading.
error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
grub rescue>
<<<
The above message is almost every time different
I've tried different disk types: ide, scsi, virtio - always the same.
Also the same when trying to install Kubuntu 9.10 under KVM.
