Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: intel Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Johannes Truschnigg (c0l0) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Ubuntu 8.04.1 (IA32 && x86_64) - cannot install bootloader Initial Comment: CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (4 cores) Distro, kernel: Gentoo GNU/Linux ~amd64, Kernel 2.6.25-r6 Bitness, compiler: x86_64, GCC 4.3.1 KVM versions: kvm-70, kvm-71 When trying to install Ubuntu) either 32bit or 64bit) in a KVM guest, grub-install croaks with. The guest kernel debug ringbuffer shows the following messages: (Please see http://pasted.at/9d7e95f873.html or the attached file!) Windows XP also hangs at installing, actually before anthing substantial other than copying installation files gets done. The first phase of the install completes, however - the "graphical installer" that's started after the first reboot hangs indefinitely. Worked fine with version <= kvm-69 with the very same settings. I'm happy to provide additional information upon request. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alexander Graf (awwy) Date: 2008-07-24 13:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=376328 Originator: NO I bisected it down to commit cc91437d10770328d0b32f200399569a0ad22792, which lies between kvm-60 and kvm-61. I can't really make out any obvious problem that patch may rise though. Nevertheless it seems to be userspace in fault here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Alexander Graf (awwy) Date: 2008-07-24 05:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=376328 Originator: NO I am getting exactly the same error on SLES10 SP2. Running a 32-bit binary in an x86_64 SLES10SP2 guest generates a #DF on a RIP, that looks like a 32-bit mangled kernel space address (0000000080228ca0 vs. ffffffff80228ca0). Apparently something truncates it - I'll try to bisect. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=2019608&group_id=180599 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
