Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kvm
Works (vnc session shows installer and no errors flowing into kern.log): $ kvm -cdrom ubuntu-10.04-rc-server-amd64.iso -vnc :0 Fails with black vnc session and errors in kern.log: $ kvm -uuid `uuid` -cdrom ubuntu-10.04-rc-server-amd64.iso -vnc :0 This is the error from kern.log (happens about 40 times per second): kernel: [592333.140692] handle_exception: unexpected, vectoring info 0x8000080e intr info 0x80000b0d I have tried three different iso images to eliminate that as a factor (openfiler, 3ware firmware, ubuntu server). I don't specifically want to use a uuid. However, managing vms with libvirt does so automatically. Therefore I am unable to use virt- manager until this is fixed. $ cat /etc/lsb-release | tail -1 DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" $ uname -a Linux gicodefs 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ dpkg --list qemu-kvm | tail -1 ii qemu-kvm 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardware ** Affects: kvm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- kvm hangs with uuid option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/569890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
