We have encountered a regression with kvm-77 here, we previously ran kvm-74 so I am not yet sure if this regression was introduced in 77 or 76,75 (I will try and test these versions asap). Ubuntu-8.10-server-amd64 cannot find the drive (tested with ide, scsi and virtio). Log on the guest screen: *** glibc detected *** modprobe: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000000f95cb0 *** Aborted *** glibc detected *** modprobe: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000001247cb0 *** Aborted *** glibc detected *** modprobe: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x00000000025a8cb0 *** Aborted *** glibc detected *** modprobe: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000001529cb0 *** Aborted *** glibc detected *** modprobe: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000001276cb0 *** Aborted *** glibc detected *** modprobe: realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000001bf1cb0 *** Aborted udevd[915]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/05-options.rules:1' udevd[915]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/05-options.rules:2' udevd[915]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/05-options.rules:3' udevd[915]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/05-options.rules:4' and on and on, ending with the system complaning that it cannot find the drive with the old UUID value. Booting the very same image on kvm-74 produced none of these errors what so ever. If giving the guest more than 2GiB of memory there is a stream of "segmentation fault" lines, probably from modprobe Ubuntu-8.04 boots just fine under kvm-77 so it feels like a mismatch with the guest 2.6.27 kernel. Tested both 2.27-4 and 2.27-7 to no avail. The host is Debian Lenny with a 2.6.26-1-amd64 kernel and a Q6600 with 8GB RAM /Henrik Holst Witsbits AB -- 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
