The latest advice for running on Canonistack (kvm guest instance where nested=Y is to):
- Only run on a 64-bit Canonistack guest instance. - Modify bin/prepare-testbed and bin/run-adt-test to start the autopkgtest VM using 'qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm'. - Have the DEP8 test running inside the autopkgtest VM start its VM using 'qemu -enable-kvm'. Using the above but appending '-nographic >/tmp/kvm.log 2>&1' to each kvm command-line to allow console log capture results in the first created VM (the one created by prepare-testbed/bin/run-adt-test) locking up. Unfortunately, there is no output in kvm.log. I'll retry without '-nographic' as smb has noticed this seems to affect the stability of the overall kvm stack. Even if this does work, it is clearly not ideal to discard console output (unless there is another magic qemu option we can try?) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208455 Title: general protection fault running apt-get inside double nested kvm VM Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “linux” source package in Saucy: In Progress Status in “qemu-kvm” source package in Saucy: New Bug description: Attempting to run apt-get in a nested vm hosted in OpenStack results in a general protection fault in the kernel in the nested VM.
