I recognize the same with my own kernel package but in the most cases a new version of kvm solves it. Sometimes all is fine with kvm and sometimes i have to use qemu instead. Have you take a look for the state of kvm and your guest os: http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/Guest_Support_Status For a long time i can't use opensuse as a guest. Now with kvm-36 plus the hint from their page and opensuse 10.3 Beta it works but before it was a nightmare and yes, i have had it too that my pc hung hard. Do you have compile your kvm package with the default CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS from /etc/makepkg.conf? > Please share any thoughts/experiences you may have had. I think kvm is getting better and better but it seems sometimes not so stable. I know this doesn't helps you.-) See you, Attila _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
