OK. So kqemu was dropped, that's fine. But what about systems that don't have VT-enabled hardware but would still like to use vmbuilder? In 8.04 it was possible to use 'ubuntu-vm-builder qemu hardy', but now only (forgetting about vmware and xen for a moment) 'vmbuilder kvm hardy' works. Without kvm module initialized, this operation fails. I'd like to have virtualized systems inside of already virtualized system (therefor, no hardware acceleration). Errors: libvir: Domain Config error : internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' libvirt.libvirtError: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' Basically, vmbuilder does the whole work, but dies on XML generation (if you use --debug, you actually get to see generated xml). And if XML is created by hand, libvirt starts it with command: LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/bin/qemu -S -M pc-0.12 -no-kvm -m 512 -smp 1 -name test -uuid 7d78cbee-3832-ca61-ffdb-d3ec63c8db19 -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/test.monitor,server,nowait -monitor chardev:monitor -no-acpi -boot c -drive file=/home/ivoks/VM/test/tmpkP59W4.qcow2,if=ide,index=0,boot=on -net none -serial none -parallel none -usb -vnc 192.168.79.2:0 -vga cirrus And this fails (system never loads grub completely). But if 'boot=on' (in drive setup) is removed or replaced with 'boot=off' and then started by hand, everything works fine. Is all of this on purpose or is it a bug (or bugs)? -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
