ok, This error is in kqemu. The guest boots with -no-kqemu option. The guest is booting ubuntu 7.04 linux 2.6.20-16-server. Note: the host is running 7.4 and I compiled with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --cc=gcc-3.4 --host-cc=gcc-3.4 --kernel-path=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-server/ The host has a second guest running ubuntu dapper linux 2.6.15-28-686 qemu -vnc :1 -kernel-kqemu -daemonize -no-reboot -monitor unix:/vservers/qemu/mail1/mail1.sock,server,nowait -boot c -hda /dev/sdc -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:0f:10 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=br0-mail1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup-br0 -m 512
I also found that qemu is not exiting after guest is halted with init 0. ----- Original Message ---- From: n schembr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 12:27:16 PM Subject: Re: [Qemu-devel] Is there a patch for kqemu 1.3.0pre11 and qemu 0.9 to allow accelerated smp guests? virtualBox support page talks about a race condition. Is this a race in the guest kernel or user land? It looks like I boot the kernel just fine. the cpu spikes around init time. ----- Original Message ---- From: n schembr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2007 11:18:14 AM Subject: [Qemu-devel] Is there a patch for kqemu 1.3.0pre11 and qemu 0.9 to allow accelerated smp guests? I have a remote system that boots fine when I use: qemu -vnc :4 -kernel-kqemu -smp 2 -no-reboot -monitor unix:/vservers/qemu/cms1/cms1.sock,server,nowait -boot c -hda hda1.img -hdb swap.img -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:0f:00 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=br0-cms1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup-br0 -m 500 But this is not using kqemu and very slow. When I boot the following, the guest never gets past the init process. According to top, the guest qemu system uses 101% of the hosts cpu amd x2 3800. The guest is ubuntu 7.4 running (postgesql, Apache, and ssh) qemu -vnc :4 -kernel-kqemu -no-reboot -monitor unix:/vservers/qemu/cms1/cms1.sock,server,nowait -boot c -hda hda1.img -hdb swap.img -net nic,vlan=0,macaddr=00:16:3e:00:0f:00 -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=br0-cms1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup-br0 -m 500 Is there a patch for kqemu 1.3.0pre11 and qemu 0.9 to allow accelerated smp guests? Is there a way in the proc file system on the guest to see kqemu if is working? Is there a plan to create a stand alone qemu-monitor that can be attached to a running qemu process? Thank you for your time and a great project, Nicholas A. Schembri State College, PA USA PS. qemu -smp 2 has 90 day's uptime on the production hardware.
