I recently installed 12.04.2 and am running the 3.5.0-23 kernel. I ran into the exact same problems mentioned above with the blktap module so I tested the precise-proposed package. After upgrading the package I was able to load the blktap module without problems. When starting a HVM virtual machine with xe start there is however a problem booting from a cdrom iso. The quemu bootload claims gives the error
CDROM boot error code 0003 Boot from CD-rom failed: could not read the boot disk Syslog has errors regarding blktap: [75925.627105] blktap_device_make_request: 732 callbacks suppressed [75925.627114] block tdb: make request: -22, failing [75925.627123] end_request: I/O error, dev tdb, sector 0 [75925.629387] Buffer I/O error on device tdb, logical block 0 [75925.654192] block tda: make request: -22, failing [75925.654205] end_request: I/O error, dev tda, sector 64 [75925.656909] Buffer I/O error on device tda, logical block 16 [75925.658163] Buffer I/O error on device tda, logical block 17 [75925.662738] block tda: make request: -22, failing [75925.662746] end_request: I/O error, dev tda, sector 64 [75925.665825] Buffer I/O error on device tda, logical block 16 [75925.666700] Buffer I/O error on device tda, logical block 17 [75925.672574] block tda: make request: -22, failing [75925.672582] end_request: I/O error, dev tda, sector 64 [75925.676078] Buffer I/O error on device tda, logical block 16 I'm guessing this is related to the blktab-dkms package Anyone else seeing similar issues using blktap-dkms/precise-proposed ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157421 Title: blktap-dkms version in 12.04.2 is not compatible with the 12.04.2 kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/blktap-dkms/+bug/1157421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
