Public bug reported: Hi
I'd like to run kvm -kernel <kernel file> -hda <UEC image> -append "/proc/cmdline stuff" but this fails badly with both the EC2 and Virtual kernels. With the files from: http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/lucid/current/unpacked/ Trying to run: kvm -kernel lucid-server-uec-amd64-vmlinuz-ec2 -hda lucid-server-uec-amd64.img -curses -append "root=/dev/sda" or: kvm -kernel lucid-server-uec-amd64-vmlinuz-virtual -hda lucid-server-uec-amd64.img -curses -append "root=/dev/sda" Fails awfully. I tried all combinations of nomodeset, vga=none, modeset=0, vga.nomodeset, vga.modeset=0, vga=ask and what not, but all failed. During the early kernel init, the VGA adapter emulated by kvm switches to graphics mode after: [...] [ 1.073901] EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. [ 1.074640] VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly on device 8:0. [ 1.075983] devtmpfs: mounted [ 1.076955] Freeing unused kernel memory: 796k freed [ 1.093995] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 7788k I just get "640 x 480 Graphic mode" filling my whole remote terminal, and can't interact with the curses vm anymore. the -ec2 kernels in particular give some spectacularly corrupted output.
