I build a 32-bit RHEL 5 compatible Qemu/KVM guest, really Scientific Linux 5.7. The guest was built from SL.57.090911.DVD.i386.disc1.iso plus today's updates.
The guest runs fine with 1 CPU defined and hangs trying to boot with 2 CPUs defined so I can reproduce this 100% with the following VM host: $ lsb_release -ds Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS $ uname -srvm Linux 2.6.38-12-server #51~lucid1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 29 20:09:53 UTC 2011 x86_64 Qemu/KVM/Libvirt is the one from Natty backported to Lucid via PPA: https://launchpad.net/~nutznboltz/+archive/kvm-libvirt-lts $ dpkg -l | grep 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.4~ppa1 ii qemu-common 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.4~ppa1 qemu common functionality (bios, documentati ii qemu-kvm 0.14.0+noroms-0ubuntu4.4~ppa1 Full virtualization on i386 and amd64 hardwa $ dpkg -l | grep 0.8.8-1ubuntu6.5~ppa1 ii libvirt-bin 0.8.8-1ubuntu6.5~ppa1 the programs for the libvirt library ii libvirt0 0.8.8-1ubuntu6.5~ppa1 library for interfacing with different virtu ii python-libvirt 0.8.8-1ubuntu6.5~ppa1 libvirt Python bindings When the 2.6.38-12 backport kernel plus the kvm clock patch finishes compiling I will install it and test to see if the 32-bit RHELish guest still hangs or not. I will also test on regular x86_64 Natty soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/795717 Title: 32bit rhel and centos 5.(5|6) hangs on boot on natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/795717/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
